A Delicious Syros-Inspired Evening on the Athenian Riviera with “Iliovasilema”

Another exceptional gastronomic evening is in the making at Symposio at Ark, as renowned chef Giannis Baxevanis and Ark welcome the restaurant Iliovasilema and its chef-patron, Kostas Bougiouris.

Following the refined culinary vision of Alfredo’s Grand Dining presented by Apostolos Altanis, and the Rhodian fine dining experience curated by Giorgos Troumouchis and his Noble Gourmet team, the spotlight now shifts to Syros. On February 20th, the talented culinary artist Kostas Bougiouris will take over the kitchen of Giannis Baxevanis, bringing the essence of Iliovasilema to the Athenian Riviera.

For years, Iliovasilema has been a benchmark restaurant in the Cyclades. In 2024, Athinorama and the “Chrisi Skoufi” Awards honored it with another Greek Cuisine Award. Bougiouris’ creation showcases how exceptional ingredients can be elevated through imaginative combinations, staying true to tradition while constantly looking toward the future.
