THE FEAST OF THE ATHONITE SEA
Welcome by Giota: Traditional “fishermen’s” kakavia cooked by Kostas, including fresh fish* and sea food Appetizers trilogy: Scrimps “giouvetsi” Peppers filled with trachana** and sea food Octopus salad with pepper and celery
(*The fish and 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) (**Varvara is famous for the production of goat milk and frumenty. The Women of the Agricultural Co «Dryades» are preparing the annual «harvest» at the end of each summer, supplying the local community with high quality organic product). The dishes are served with wine Oinomeli Myloptamos – a special Mount Athos rose wine
Main courses: Green salad with marinated zucchini and «kritama» Fresh cod fish cooked with artichokes The dishes are served with wine Metochi Chromitsa – a special Mount Athos white wine
Desert: «Hosmeli» made by Giota from Ammouliani ***
(*** The residents of Ammouliani perpetuate with respect and true devotion all the culinary habits of their grandmothers, who, driven from their homeland in Proikonnisos of Asia Minor, brought them with them and taught them in their new homeland, to create new trends, brought from the East - always with the sense of tidiness and worship for all that they so unjustly left behind....). The desert is served with Tsantali athonite tsipouro
Price per person: 25€
Ammouliani is famous for the huge quantity of fish caught here! It has the largest fishing fleet in central Macedonia. This means that the fish served on the island have been caught on the same day. Besides, in Ammouliani if a fish was caught yesterday, it is not considered fresh!
