The feast of the ship makers

Our favorite chef Dina Nikolaou comes to Ierissos, in order to meet the famous ship makers and hear their stories. Indeed, the shipyards of Ierissos are inextricably linked to the memory of the locals. Located just a few meters from the bustling fishing port with intense activity, they smell of wood from the pine used to build the boats, resin, sweat from the human effort and iodine from the aroma of the sea. The shipyards are the very soul of the settlement. An art of wisdom and perspicacity, structured by hardworking shipwrights. Dina finds them on the shores of the port, below the hills of Ancient Akanthos. She observes them going up and down the hulls under construction, accompanying the work with song, snacking on local goodies and salty orkini, laughing at the jokes and stories from captains, sailors, and craftsmen.
They drink tsipouro together.
So do we.
