THE FEAST OF THE MONASTIC CUISINE
Fish Soup from Mount Athos* Octapus balls* (*The fish and seafood of Mount Athos are renowned for their exquisite flavour. 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 organised 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)
Monk's salad with cherry tomatoes, nuts** and Arnea honey***, olive oil and vinegar (**Mount Athos has rich, unspoilt vegetation. The monks collect all sorts of plants, herbs and fruit and use them in their cooking). (***Arnea is famous for producing many kinds of honey, which owe their quality, colour and taste to the countless varieties of rare plants and herbs that grow on Cholomontas and the Stratoniko Mountain)
Fish with courgettes and white onion juice sauce Semolina halva with orange, almonds and sweetened cherries Wine Biological Mylopotamos from the Athonite vineyards Price per person: 45 â‚Ź
Athonite cuisine is special and unique. It draws on the fish- and vegetablebased diet of the 2,500 monks living on Mount Athos, who thanks to this are renowned for their longevity and good health. The cooking method is also unique: a wood fire, pans, pure organic ingredients from the gardens and slopes of the sacred mountain...
