The restaurants of AKS Hotels in Porto Heli are promising unique gastronomy experiences this summer thanks to brand new menus curated by Greek Chef Yiannis Lucacos.

“It is a great pleasure to collaborate with AKS Hotels… The group’s values and philosophy on authentic hospitality, combined with the flavors and aromas of the Mediterranean, have been my inspiration for a renewed summer experience which, I hope, all our restaurant guests will never forget,” Chef Yiannis Lucacos said.

Chef Lucacos’ creations are now available at the Riviera restaurant in AKS Porto Heli hotel and at Porfyra restaurant in AKS Hinitsa Bay.
