Wonderful experience - can wholeheartedly recommend! - -- -- -- -- (English version below) -- -- -- -- We came across a poster by chance announcing a 5-course meal and signed up spontaneously, not knowing what to expect. We were greeted on site by Yiannis, who couldn't have been a better host! He was totally open, warm-hearted and funny, which immediately gave us the feeling that this was going to be a special experience. The location for the 5-course meal was a dream - on a balcony in the middle of the city, which gave you the feeling of being "in the middle of it all" while being totally quiet at the same time. The decor was simple and understated, just right to create a cozy feeling where you felt right at home, but also "in the middle of Greece". Without wanting to give away too much about the courses and their stories, we were surprised with 5 typical Greek dishes that were exemplary of different regions and cultures and offered a successful variety of flavors. Just as varied and extremely entertaining were the 5 "different chefs", all played by a one-man show actor and each providing the appropriate cultural and historical background knowledge about the regions/cultures and the food. I could go on forever, but to perhaps summarize the most important thing: We had a fantastic experience, can recommend it without reservation and only hope that as many people as possible will be able to enjoy this great experience! --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- We stumbled upon a poster advertising a 5-course menu and spontaneously signed up for it without knowing what to expect.

Wonderful - The Around Greece in 5 Dishes experience proved thoroughly enjoyable with gorgeous food, excellent service and entertaining performances delivered. To enhance one aspect of this event, a choice of red or white wine or even rosé may have presented a bit more variety in terms of the drinks, otherwise I had an excellent time! 😀
