One thing is without doubt: an essential ingredient of any successful holiday is good food. Tavernas and cafés are as important as beaches and archaeological sites. Sampling the local food, living the gastronomic life of the natives and sipping on a glass of chilled wine made just round the corner are the most pleasurable ways of “immersing” yourself in the indigenous culture.
The Thinking Traveller can offer all this and more: in most of our properties it is possible to organise the service of an “in-villa” cook. This enables you to sample the local food at its most authentic in the comfort of your own home. You will have neither to set foot in the kitchen nor worry about driving back after a glass or two. Any young children in your group can have a normal bedtime, you will not have to worry about shopping or washing up and that extra time can be spent lounging by the pool or sipping an aperitif while watching the sunset. Then, as if by magic, it will be time for that well-earned feast.
One thing is without doubt: an essential ingredient of any successful holiday is good food.
Our cooks, while not being professional chefs, produce genuine, delicious expressions of the local cuisine, such a traditional Skopelos cheese pie, slow cooked goat, grouper stew and fresh seafood, only using the freshest local ingredients.
You can hire a cook for as many or as few meals as you like. On your arrival, it may be nice to be greeted by the prospect of a good dinner to get you immediately into the holiday mood.
