The clean water of Strimonikos gulf, the Aristotelian Mountain with the rich vegetation, the virgin environment, the content of the sea water make the Olympiada mussels delicious, big, heavy, strong and healthy)

Codfish*** fillet with celery puree lightly flavored with garlic and beetroot cream (***The fish and the 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)
Dessert: Rice milk with salted caramel foam and spice biscuit Served with a glass of Mountovina**** (****Moudovina is a distillate of honey, produced only in Arnea by local beekeepers)
Wine: Claudia Papayianni White Price per person: 30€
The ancient Greeks based their diet on the offerings of the land: fruits, nuts, honey, wine... They took every chance to organise banquets and celebrations to commemorate occasions, people, gods, days... This is the people that shaped not only the international cultural and athletic ideal but also the gastronomy and the culinary habits of the entire world! Our rich local production allows us today to adopt the culinary traditions of Greek antiquity, which make up culinary phenomena with personality, character and therapeutic nature. “The feast of the ancient Greek cuisine” utilizes in maximum the local production and makes us travel with our imagination to the tables of the Dionysian feasts, where the wine flowed abundantly and the ecstaticism climaxed the senses!
