Cycladic food, cooked at your villa

Paros has its own kitchen and a good chef uses it. Gouna is mackerel split open, salted and dried in the sun, then grilled over charcoal. Revithada is a chickpea stew cooked slowly in a clay pot, once the island's Sunday meal. Xinomizithra is a soft, tangy local cheese. Your chef can build a whole menu around these, or mix them with grilled fish, salads and Greek mezze.

Paros wine and souma at the table

Paros wines have held PDO status since 1981. Whites come from the Monemvasia grape and reds blend it with Mandilaria. Moraitis, in Naoussa, has been making wine since 1910 and works with local varieties. For the end of the meal there is souma, the island's grape spirit, distilled in late autumn and served cold with cheese and olives. A bartender from €500 can run the drinks.

Can a private chef cook at any villa in Paros or Antiparos?

What local dishes can a private chef cook in Paros?

The classics are gouna, revithada and dishes with xinomizithra cheese. Gouna is salted, sun-dried mackerel grilled over charcoal, and revithada is chickpeas slow-cooked in a clay pot. Your chef can mix these with grilled fish, salads and mezze. Ask for a full Paros menu if you want one.

What is souma?

Souma is the local spirit of Paros, distilled from grapes. Families make it around late October, after the harvest, and it is served cold at the end of a meal with cheese, olives and Paros rusks. Your chef or bartender can add it to the menu.

Which wines are made on Paros?

Paros makes PDO white and red wines from the Monemvasia and Mandilaria grapes. The PDO dates from 1981, and reds must contain at least 35% Mandilaria. Moraitis in Naoussa, family-run since 1910, is the best-known producer on the island. Ask us to pour them at dinner.

Can the chef cater for allergies and special diets?

Yes, tell us about allergies and diets when you book and the menu is planned around them. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and children's meals are all possible. The chef reviews the list with you before shopping for the day. Nothing is bought until the menu is agreed.
