Sifnos – with Giorgos Samoilis

Sifnos

Podcast Episode 4

— 26 minutes

With us this week is Giorgos Samoilis, chef and owner of two incredible seafront restaurants on the beautiful island of Sifnos: the farm-to-table restaurant Cantina, and the more casual brasserie Pelicanos. In our chat, he’ll be telling us about his background as a molecular biologist, how he ended up on Sifnos, as well as his recommendations for where to go on an island that we instantly fell for.

If you haven’t heard of, or been to Sifnos before, it’s becoming quite the foodie island, so we knew we had to head over to check it out.

For more information on Giorgos visit his Instagram (personal), as well as the accounts for Cantina, Pelicanos, and his Spotify channel.

“I have been here for 15 years working in this industry, and consciously, we have been trying to attract people who are into gastronomy and can appreciate the qualities of Sifnos.”

Product Pick

One of our Sifnos videographers had a Stüssy T-shirt on, which felt fresh (urban against the rustic arrid landscape). This is inspired by him!
