Heraklion City

<p>Hello I'm Sakis born and raised in Greece. Cultivating my culinary passion in Athens. I've spent the past 12 years refining my skills in both restaurants and private settings. From bustling Mykonos to intimate gatherings across Greece and even the USA, I've thrived on creating unforgettable experiences for my clients. While my heart belongs to the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean, I adore taking traditional dishes and transforming them with a modern twist using innovative techniques. Particularly drawn to the artistry of working with fresh fish and creating harmonious combinations of flavors, I'm excited to bring a unique and personalized dining experience to your table.<br></p>
