  The previous Guinness world record for the Largest Greek Salad was made in Israel and weighed 10,2 tons.

   The World's Largest Greek Salad was made from 6,5 tons of tomatoes, 3 tons of cucumbers, 800 kg of Feta cheese and 500 kg of olive oil.

   The president of the Welfare Organization of Ierapetra Mr Spyros Tsikaloudakis along with many associations and local groups organized the successful world record attempt for the Largest Greek Salad in The World .

   The campaign was initiated by the Cretan farmers to prove that they have been exporting high quality products.

   One of the main activities in the area is agriculture and the greenhouses of Ierapetra are known for their quality and quantity of production, covering an area of 13,000,000 square meters between the towns of Ierapetra and Myrtos.
