\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During our last visit to Lithos, we tasted some of the best picks from the menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And even when the restaurant takes pride in featuring a seasonal menu that changes regularly, that does not mean you won’t find something you’ll love!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Salads at Lithos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many years ago, when I first dined at Lithos, their creative salads. Imagine a delightful salad that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious. This strawberry-infused masterpiece combines summer’s vibrant colors and flavors, offering a refreshing and creative twist on the classic side dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, we started our dinner with a salad with fruit, seasonal greens, nuts, and figs. The selected array of fruits included grapes, peaches, and pears. This was a perfect summer dish!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Starters: Same but Different<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nobody visiting the Greek islands and loving cheese would ever dream of skipping a classic Saganaki Cheese as a starter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Lithos, this culinary delight is taken to a different level. It features local cheese varieties wrapped in light tempura deep-fried in fragrant Extra Virgin olive oil. Add a drizzle of orange marmalade, and you’ll be in Heaven!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seafood is another staple of Greek cuisine. And Lithos knows how to make it love seafood even more: Choose their Octopus Bruschetta with a spicy touch of wasabi. We were blown away by how good this was!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Serious Cretan Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We chose two different main dishes that echo Cretan cuisine. First, authentic pasta from the island, skiufikta<\/em><\/strong>, seasoned with plenty of stakoboutiro<\/em><\/strong> ((butter from sheep or goat) and fresh myzithra<\/em><\/strong> cheese. A dish that cannot get any more Cretan than this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our second main was a tender local beef stifado<\/em><\/strong> with a thick red sauce featuring baby onions and garnished with a super flavorful smoked aubergine pur\u00e9e. We loved it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Luscious Pavlova<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For dessert, Lithos’own Pavlova version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing short of an edible masterpiece, this sumptuous creation features a heavenly blend of crisp and delicate meringue, billowy clouds of whipped cream, and a captivating medley of fresh fruits offering a burst of sweet and tangy flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A summery delight!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
