CONFIRMED

What happened

Santa Marina’s 2026 calendar combines culinary, music and wellness events. Its Chefs Series lists Andrew Karapanos on 6 July, Yiannis Mexis on 22–23 July and Nikos Roussos on 17 August at Elais Restaurant. All of those dates are now past.

EDITORIAL INTERPRETATION

Why it matters

The editorial signal is the structure: a hotel uses a sequence of occasions to give a stay a particular rhythm. A guest-chef dinner can become the centre of an evening without requiring a separate private production.

EDITORIAL INTERPRETATION

Planning relevance

The series offers a useful model for a culinary stay: make the guest-chef dinner the evening’s centrepiece, with time before and after to enjoy Ornos Bay.
