My menu… is Greek - Mediterranean and largely based on fish and
seafood.
My driving force is… my son.
A customer I can’t forget is… my parents.
For me Fine Dining means… a unique gastronomic experience combining
exquisite flavours and impeccable service.
The best advice I have ever been given is… trust yourself. You can do
more than what you think.
If I could change something in Santorini it would be… the parking
available slots.
In ten years... I ask for nothing more than health for myself and my
family. I would like to have opened my own Greek – Mediterranean H I G H L I G H T
restaurant by then.
I say ‘no’ to … anything addictive.
I say ‘yes’ to … new challenges and ideas.
My mantra is… Stay positive, work hard, make it happen! •
