Head Chef Charalampos

A long time veteran of the island’s Charalampos Koukoudakis lets us in on what drives his passion and dedication in creating Throubi’s legendary fine dining menus.

I would describe the menu that I have curated as … wellness fine dining influenced by Greek cuisine.

My driving force ... is the chefs I worked with, who urged and helped me to evolve ...

A customer I will never forget is … All customers for me are special, but I definitely won’t forget the day my mentor came in to try my menu. For me fine dining means … choosing the optimum ingredients, using them creatively, respecting ingredients and providing high levels of service. The best advice I have ever received is … You never stop learning. If I could change something in Santorini it would be … to upgrade its gastronomic product and further promote various types of tourism, some of which also concern gastronomy. In ten years ... I would like to be healthy and have acquired more culinary experiences.

I say ‘no’ … to food mismanagement.

I say ‘yes’… to … culinary destinations. My mantra is ... We learn from our mistakes. •
