A private chef, on request
Seasonal Greek & Mediterranean menus
Menus built around the morning's catch and whatever is ripe — from relaxed breakfasts to long, slow lunches and dinner under the stars. Tell us how you like to eat and the chef plans around it.
Cooked where you are
In the villa's outdoor kitchen, by the infinity pool, or on the rooftop as the sun goes down. The kitchen comes to you, not the other way around.
For a celebration, a retreat, or just the easy days
Full board for a retreat group, a single show-stopping dinner, or simply the evenings you'd rather not cook. Indicative from €320 per day; we tailor it to your party.
From the land & sea around us
Halkidiki green olives & olive oil
The region's big, meaty green olives — and the 'liquid gold' oil pressed from them — are PDO products you can only call Halkidiki. Often stuffed with almond or red pepper, and poured over everything.
Seafood from the gulf
Fish brought in before dawn and straight to the table: sea bream, sea bass, calamari and octopus — plus the famed local mussels, served saganaki in tomato, garlic and feta.
Sithonia wine
The vineyards on Mount Meliton above us make PDO wines (Plagies Melitona). Estates like Domaine Porto Carras pour crisp Assyrtiko whites and bold, peppery reds, kept fresh by the sea breeze.
Honey from Nikiti
Halkidiki produces more than a third of Greece's honey, and Nikiti — minutes from the villa — is one of its capitals. The pine and wildflower honey here is exceptional, especially over local yogurt.
Cheese, herbs & the garden
Feta and graviera from the mountain dairies, wild herbs and mountain tea, figs, tomatoes and greens in season — the simple, fresh backbone of every Halkidiki table.
A monastic, Anatolian thread
The cooking here carries two influences: the plain, ingredient-led style of nearby Mount Athos, and the spice and richness the Constantinople Greeks brought when they settled the region.
Experiences at the table
A Greek cooking class
Cook a Halkidiki menu alongside the chef — then sit down and eat what you made, with a glass of Sithonia white in hand.
Olive oil & wine tasting
Taste the region's PDO oil and Sithonia wines at the villa, or visit a working mill or estate — many local producers now open their doors to guests.
Boat to grill
Bring back the day's catch from a Nimbus cruise and have it grilled that evening — about as direct as sea-to-table gets.
Market & producer visits
Honey in Nikiti, olives in the groves, the morning fish at the harbour — we'll point you to the real producers, or arrange a guided run.
