Meet the chef

Gikas Xenakis was born and raised in Thiva. His bright childhood memories from the Greek countryside, exploring nature, fishing on weekends and his mother's cuisine, have influenced his culinary philosophy, which revolves around fresh, pure products and locality. After graduating Le Monde Culinary School, he realized that his professional life would be linked to gastronomy. He had the opportunity to work at many important restaurants in Greece and abroad along with great chefs, while he keeps traveling all around the world to gather gastronomic experience. Since 2012, he has been the Head Chef at Aleria Restaurant, where he performs his exceptional culinary style through dishes that represent the philosophy of modern Greek cuisine, which he serves with passion. From the iconic seafood "mageiritsa", the deconstructed "pasticcio", the famous herbs pie, the “Ω3 meatballs” or the braised lamb to the modern "mousaka", Gikas Xenakis embodies the Greek culinary tradition and the treasures of the Greek land in his unique, creative style.
