A gastronomic evening straight from Santorini: Kaliya brings its signature flavors to Glyfada for a one-night appearance at Symposio at Ark
On Friday, December 5th, Ark restaurant will host one of Santorini’s most beloved and acclaimed dining destinations: Kaliya. For one exclusive evening, the cosmopolitan Ark will transform into a Santorinian “balcony,” offering guests a culinary voyage from the island’s dramatic caldera all the way to Glyfada.
Perched above the cliffs of Fira, Kaliya stands out not only for its breathtaking location but also for its modern, inventive cuisine. The restaurant has been honored with the 2025 Greek Cuisine Award by Athinorama, a distinction that reflects its fine-comfort character, inspired flavor pairings, and exceptional ingredients — many sourced directly from its own farm in Monolithos.
The menu is crafted by award-winning chef Dimos Balopoulos, together with his close collaborator Stefanos Paliopoulos, who together create dishes that seamlessly blend Greek tradition with global influences. With signature plates such as the seafood dolma with steamed shrimp or the striking “Sea Wellington,” Kaliya has earned the praise of both diners and critics.
As part of the established Symposio at Ark series, which introduces outstanding regional Greek restaurants to the Athenian audience, guests on December 5th will enjoy a full Kaliya experience. The specially curated menu, created in collaboration with Ark’s executive chef Giannis Baxevanis, will be accompanied by live music featuring piano and vocals.
Price per person: €78
