The late-afternoon light pours through vine leaves as you step from the garden into a compact, well-equipped cooking studio — the island’s volcanic air carrying the faint sweetness of ripening tomatoes and thyme. Chef Christos greets you with the kind of direct warmth common in Greek households, and the day moves with a clear rhythm: garden tour, hands-on prep, simmering pans, and a long meal shared at a small table that looks out over a trimmed vineyard.
