A culinary escape

Head Chef Lefteris Karelis

Cretan Chef Lefteris Karelis’ lengthy culinary career includes studying and working in France, the UK and throughout Greece before becoming Head Chef at our very own Catch Restaurant & Bar.

My menu… is Greek - Mediterranean and largely based on fish and seafood.

My driving force is… my son. A customer I can’t forget is… my parents. For me Fine Dining means… a unique gastronomic experience combining exquisite flavours and impeccable service. The best advice I have ever been given is… trust yourself. You can do more than what you think.

If I could change something in Santorini it would be… the parking available slots.

In ten years... I ask for nothing more than health for myself and my family. I would like to have opened my own Greek – Mediterranean restaurant by then.

I say ‘no’ to … anything addictive. I say ‘yes’ to … new challenges and ideas. My mantra is… Stay positive, work hard, make it happen! •
