Farm-to-Table Sustainable and Healthy Cuisine Philosophy
ELaiolithos embraces the Slow Food Philosophy, guided by the vision of its owner, a Naxos native and accomplished entrepreneur who spent 38 years studying and living in New York. Her inspiration comes from a deep love for this region, the bounty of her family’s local farms, the purity of the soil, and the timeless flavors of traditional Naxian recipes. The property’s idyllic location, surrounded by nature, and her lifelong commitment to healthy eating shape a menu that is both nourishing and deeply rooted in place. Beyond being a welcoming host, Helen is known for creating cuisine that is wholesome, flavorful, and true to the island’s heritage. Here, every dish tells a story of the land, the people, and a way of life that values quality over haste.
HER CARE, CREATIVITY AND PASSION FOR FOOD ARE ALWAYS ON THE MENU
ELaiolithos’ Cheeses
Savor the distinctive flavors of locally crafted cheeses by Lambros Marakis — the esteemed family producer behind Giovannis’ Cheeses. With a legacy spanning at least four generations, Lambros is celebrated for his dedication to quality and authenticity, using time-honored techniques passed down through his family. He still milks his animals the traditional way — by hand — ensuring the gentlest care and the richest milk. His cheesemaking space is kept so impeccably clean, stepping inside feels like entering a surgery room, a testament to his commitment to purity and excellence. The milk comes exclusively from free-range, grass-fed goats and sheep, resulting in cheeses rich in character and depth of flavor. Each bite carries the essence of Naxos, infused with the aromatic herbs of its highlands, making every creation a true taste of the island.
