Five Signature Dishes Under the Stars
Athens Living Museum collaborates with a local Greek chef to produce a thoughtfully curated menu that reflects the diversity of Greece’s culinary heritage.
The menu:
Cretan Dakos Salad
The journey begins with Dakos, a Cretan barley rusk topped with fresh tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta. You’ll taste oregano steeped in olive oil. This dish bursts with Mediterranean sunshine and ancient farming traditions.
Hortopita
Next, savour Hortopita, a pie of horta (wild greens) wrapped in crispy filo pastry. Traditionally, local foragers gather these wild greens on Greek mountain slopes.
Santorini Fava
From volcanic Santorini comes Fava, a creamy puree of yellow split peas. Extra virgin olive oil, raw onion and capers add depth. This vegan delight showcases the purity of Aegean ingredients. It celebrates island life and rustic simplicity.
Spetzofai
In northern Greece, villagers cook Spetzofai in rich tomato sauce. You’ll taste handmade sausages, sweet bell peppers, garlic, and local spices. Each mouthful transports you to mountain kitchens where families gather to feast together.
Revani
To close the evening, enjoy Revani, a semolina sponge cake soaked in syrup. Olive oil and Greek yogurt give it moist texture. This dessert balances sweetness and tradition for a flawless finale.
