The diches? Excellent. Sea food combined with products collected from the local gardens, meat – cooked according to the Asia Minor techniques, pastries, variety of pasta, colorful salads made by organic products and anatolian / monastic sweets compose “The Roost’s offered product”. In the same yard you will also find a “selective” bar – for eclectic visitors. Combine the fantastic food with fantastic wines – advice the exceptional wine list.

(**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)
