Mrs. Aristea, the hotel owner, carefully prepares a rich home-cooked Greek breakfast for her guests using the best local ingredients, like olive oil produced on the island. The buffet style breakfast includes white and black bread, rusks and butter. There are handmade jams such as fig, quince, strawberry, orange, carrot, tomato and honey from Thasos. Fresh salads are prepared with seasonal produce, mostly from the hotel’s vegetable garden and fresh fruits are also served. Guests may treat themselves to local olives, yoghurt, scrambled eggs, dried fruits, cereals, Greek cheeses and ham. Traditional cooked dishes include “kolokythokeftedes” (zucchini balls) and fried zucchini flowers depending on the season. Sweets feature “loukoumi” (Turkish delight), homemade cake or walnut/apple pie, semolina pudding (halva), “tiganites” (Greek pancakes with honey). Hot beverages are coffee, milk and tea.
