Michelin starred Greek celebrity chef Yiannis Baxevanis (known as 'the Jamie Oliver of Greece') and his team - from the 5-star Elounda Beach & Villas on Crete and the renowned restaurant Ark in Athens - are taking over the stoves of Gildo's Ristorante, for a week of Greek celebrations as Cretan lifestyle meets Alpine flair. Menu-wise, expect traditional authentic Greek dishes transformed into gourmet creations - with a strong emphasis on the provenance of ingredients.
The Greek Week culminates, as inspired by Dîner en Blanc series, in an epic 'White Party' celebration at the Greengo nightclub taking place on 7 March - with DJs providing the sound track to get the party going...
