Safe & Savory: Navigating Mediterranean Resorts with a Watermelon Allergy

Dazzling coastlines, vibrant cultures, and legendary cuisine make Mediterranean resorts irresistible. But for travelers with watermelon allergies, the fear of accidental exposure can overshadow paradise. Watermelon hides unexpectedly—in drinks, sorbets, salads, and garnishes—especially hard to spot when language barriers complicate menu translation. Fear not: mm food transforms your culinary journey with confidence.

Why Mediterranean Dining Poses Challenges

While Mediterranean cuisine focuses on fresh ingredients, watermelon risks hide in plain sight:

• Popular summer refreshers: Aguas frescas, granitas, and cocktails
• Dessert surprises: Fruit salads, gelatos, and sorbets
• Savory dishes: Greek watermelon-feta salads, Spanish gazpacho variants
• Garnish hazards: Decor on seafood platters or appetizers Language differences increase risk—"karpouzi" (Greek), "بطيخ" (Arabic), or "sandia" (Spanish) might go unnoticed.
