Menu THE FEAST OF THE URBAN MIKRASIATIC GASTRONOMY Corn soup with spicy shrimps and fresh flavored yogurt* from Arnea (*Yoghurt is the main product of the primary production in Arnea. In the traditional small factory, Antonis Karayiannis makes yogurt according to the recipe of his mother Angeliki, who was a famous shepherd and very good housekeeper. Antonis’ yogurt is made with a mix of local milk (goat / sheep / cow milk), so it is so delicious and tasty
Shells stuffed with seafood pate Fish** «lemonato» served on seaweed and flavored oil (**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)
Dessert: Greek coffee and handmade spoon sweets*** (***Thousands trees/plants/herbs are found on the slopes and shadows of Mount Athos. Monks collect the fruits carefully and make uniquely tasteful sweets, revealing the nature’s taste and bringing you the aromas of the forest!)
Wine: St. Savvas Field Roze from Chilandari Monastery, Mount Athos
Price per person: 40€
