Menu The Orkyni Feast Salted Orkyni* Steamed Mussels** with local wine sauce Fresh fried calamari Tarama Sause Cheese Salad, made by local goat cheese*** (*Orkyni is a tuna-like fish, since it belongs to the same family. It is fished every May in the Akanthios Gulf (very close to Mount Athos) by local fishermen, who salt it with exceptional mastery, creating the most alternative tsipouro meze you have ever tasted! Many of them boil it and then marinate it in olive oil, making delicious fish salad. Of course it is cooked in many other ways) (**Olympiada is famous for its mussels’ production. 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) (***Ierissos is an important cheese-producing area in Eastern Halkidiki, since the Stathoris dairy produces many kinds of delicious white and yellow cheeses, made by excellent quality of fresh milk)
Giouvetsi with fresh seafood**** Pasta with scrimps (****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: Traditional Syrupy Sweets Served with a glass of Mountovina***** (*****Moudovina is a distillate of honey, produced only in Arnea by local beekeepers)
Wine: St. Savvas Field Roze from Chilandari Monastery, Mount Athos Price per person: 40€
The blessed sea of Akanthios gulf! Next to the holy Mount Athos peninsula, under the imposing top – symbol of Mount Athos lies a vast expanse of the Aegean Sea, which hosts the most magnificent beaches - fringed by the verdant slopes of Mount Athos - an important productive resource for the entire region. Fish of all kinds are caught by the local fishermen, transforming the picturesque fishing port of Ierissos into an everyday buzzing festival of creation!
