| Last reviewed: May 2026 At 600m in Drakona on the flank of the White Mountains, Stelios Trilyrakis cooks everything over open wood fire and in clay pots — no electric appliances — using meat, dairy, vegetables, olive oil and even wine raised on the family's own land. The menu is whatever is in season until it runs out. Featured by the New York Times among essential travel experiences; the upland-substance benchmark.
