Kalamari*** fillet with groats, pines and raisins, celery puree and colorful small carrots (*** The fish and seafood of Mount Athos and Strymonikos gulf are renowned for their exquisite flavor. The reason they are so different from the rest is that the waters of the two 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)
