The beach is awarded with the Blue Flag.

The hotel runs with Environmentally Friendly Management.

Bon appetite!

Menu THE FEAST OF THE WINE & THE SEA in the honor of Monk Epiphanios Tarama balls with fennel* (*Mount Athos is an inexhaustible source of wild herbs harvest. On its slopes the lush vegetation and the rich flora give to the collectors excellent harvests)

Pasta (kritharaki) with shrimps** and mussels (**The fish and the seafood of Mount Athos are renowned for their exquisite flavor.

The reason they are so different from the rest is that the waters of the bay are deep and clean, as the area has many sea currents and there are no organized cultivations to affect it.

Thus, our seafood is caught in very deep waters, with the highest salinity in Greece, and rich in plankton and clean food, since no rivers or streams end up in the bay to disturb the balance of the water composition)

Artichokes with legumes Cod fish (lemonato) with zucchini

Dessert: Semolina halva*** with almond, petimezi and grape It is served with Mylopotamos Nama Wine (***For the monks of Mount Athos halva is one of the official dessert welcome treatment of the visitors of Mount Athos)
