Creative Greek Cuisine @ Naxos

Elevating Greek Cuisine

A culinary journey through the flavors of Greece with international influences

Our Story

Creative Greek Cuisine

Inside 18 Grapes, Tanines invites you to linger a little longer. To slow down. To taste Naxos - not just with your palate, but with your whole being.

Here, every dish is a pause. A sunlit moment that carries the stories of the island, of the people who cultivate it, and of the thoughtful, respectful selection behind each ingredient. At Tanines, food is not rushed. It's layered, thoughtful - a gentle unfolding of flavor and feeling.

Its name, inspired by the tannins found in wine, forms a subtle yet beautiful connection with 18 Grapes. Like a dinner that unfolds over time: full of depth, character, and little surprises.

Up on the rooftop, beside the pool and under the Mediterranean sky, Tanines serves something both familiar and new. A Naxian cheese, a reinvented classic, a touch of something foreign - everything chosen with purpose. Everything part of the same sun-drenched tale.

This is not just a restaurant. It's a way of remembering how beautiful slowness can be. How lunch can stretch into stories, into laughter, into the golden hush of afternoon.

This is Naxos - savored.

Meet Our Chef

Modern Greek Cuisine

Our Chef comes from a family deeply rooted in the restaurant business. His culinary journey began in 2012, working in acclaimed establishments such as Seaside by Notos in Santorini and Pesca in Amsterdam.

After traveling through England and Holland, he discovered Naxos and was captivated by the island and its exceptional local produce. This inspired him to join 18 Grapes Boutique Hotel and introduce his creative Greek cuisine to the island.

His culinary style is built on traditional Greek flavors, enhanced by modern techniques and enriched with influences from Asia and America. Each dish is a harmonious blend of heritage and innovation, creating a unique dining experience.
