Since 1988, when George was born, Barbara’s love for cooking flourished in her cozy Greek kitchen.
She poured her heart into creating meals that carried the warmth of home and the rich heritage of Greek cuisine.
Her dishes were more than just food—they were experiences infused with love, creativity, and tradition.
Barbara specialized in crafting traditional Greek delicacies, but she was never afraid to explore new trends and add her own twists. Her children were her eager taste-testers, delighting in her experiments that blended modern flavors with the timeless recipes passed down by her mother, Yiayia Katina.
Among her treasures were her legendary handmade spanakopita and pitarakia, enriched with the creamy, distinct taste of Milos cheese. With each dish she prepared, Barbara honored her family’s culinary legacy, turning recipes into masterpieces with her own skilled hands.
Over time, Barbara’s passion caught the attention of friends and family. Her handmade pastries and elegantly decorated plates became the talk of every gathering. Her reputation as a talented home chef grew, and soon her home became a hub for those seeking delicious flavors and a touch of artistry.
Today, Barbara’s culinary journey has reached a new chapter at Adriana Luxury Villas. Here, she shares her unique skills with the world, offering guests the chance to savor authentic local flavors intertwined with her signature creativity.
Every dish Barbara prepares is made with the highest-quality ingredients, thoughtful care, and an undeniable touch of elegance.
Guests leave the table not just with full stomachs but with fond memories and stories to carry home—a reflection of Barbara’s love and dedication in every bite.
Her spanakopita, delicately layered and bursting with fresh greens and cheese, tells the tale of her roots. Her pitarakia, golden and crisp, evokes the sun-soaked landscapes of Milos.
And her newest creations surprise and delight, showcasing her knack for blending tradition with innovation.
Barbara’s cooking is more than a skill—it’s a labor of love, a celebration of heritage, and a gift she gladly shares with everyone fortunate enough to enjoy her dishes which are now featured at the breakfast of Adriana Luxury Villas.
