Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Athens? Head to the Four Seasons Astir Palace (three MICHELIN Keys), a luxury hotel south of the Greek capital, and make a reservation at Pelagos. This restaurant delights its guests both with its spacious terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea and with its refined Mediterranean-inspired offerings, featuring touches of Italian and French cuisine. In the kitchen, talented chef Luca Piscazzi uses modern techniques to showcase local ingredients. The end result is reflected in an à la carte and a tasting menu that combine magnificent dishes inspired by the country’s islands and by the chef’s own creations throughout his career. Fun fact: Sometimes, the menu becomes interactive and is guided by a unique deck of cards, each one dedicated to a seasonal ingredient waiting to be discovered (red prawns from Koilada, Aegean dentex fish, courgette, etc.). Shuffle the deck and let fate decide!
