Shrimp and Artichoke* carpaccio, lemon and feta milk

(*The wild artichoke of Ierissos grows on the hills of Ancient Akanthos every Spring, giving the locals the opportunity to collect it and create wonderful dishes with it)

(**Ierissos is famous for the goat cheese production at Giannis Stathoris dairy)

Ajaccina cuttlefish***

(***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)

Dessert: Fiadonu de mizithra

Corsica is famous for the cheese production, delivered to Roquefort!
