The cultural space “Apothiki” in collaboration with Taste Lemnos organize for the second year the Gastronomy and Wine Festival, Lemnos Philema.
“Philema” in Greek means treating others with food or wine. To us, Lemnos Philema means hospitality, quality and celebration. We aim at treating our visitors to the quality of Lemnian produce, celebrate the gastronomy and wine of Lemnos, and to make the island a culinary destination.
At Lemnos Philema, Lemnian producers present their local products such as traditional pasta, cheese, sweets, salted seafood, wine, preserved meats, legumes, flour, herbs, olive oil, and more, as visitors have the opportunity to taste them and get to know the people who produce them. Special guests, chef Alexander Papandreou and chef Andreas Lagos, will cook for the public at the Live Cooking Session using products from the Lemnian land, while parallel events will enrich the 2018 festival for a wider gastronomic experience.
