Seafood

In the centuries-old monasteries of Mount Athos, the sea offers bountiful gifts. Squid, mussels, and shrimp, all fresh and pure, become the base for healthy, delicious, and vegan recipes.
With just a few ingredients, the monks create miracles of flavor. Squid in tomato sauce and onion, mussels saganaki with herbs, grilled shrimp with lemon and oregano...
Each recipe tells a story, a small sacred moment filled with serenity and the sea breeze. Recipes that nourish body and soul, celebrate tradition, and offer joy to all who try them.

Let us, then, savor with reverence the seafood and taste a corner of the heavenly harmony of Mount Athos, enjoying vegan flavors full of nutrients.
