The Art of Villa Cooking: Mediterranean Recipes

One of the joys of a villa holiday is the freedom to cook, eat, and gather on your own time. At Villa Anat in Paros, that experience is elevated with fully equipped, modern kitchens, inviting indoor dining areas, poolside tables with a view, and a Broil King BBQ at each villa, perfect for long, lazy lunches or sunset dinners under the stars.

Mediterranean cuisine is renowned for its vibrant flavours, fresh ingredients, and health benefits. Think sun-ripened tomatoes, juicy lemons, fragrant herbs, and the essential drizzle of olive oil. Whether you're an experienced cook or just enjoying a relaxed culinary adventure, our favourite Mediterranean recipes are simple to prepare and full of flavour.

Start your day with Greek yoghurt drizzled with local honey and walnuts, or a platter of fresh fruit and cheeses. For lunch, try a classic Greek salad with crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta, no cooking required! Fire up the BBQ in the evening for grilled halloumi skewers, herb-marinated vegetables, or lemon and oregano tofu steaks. Add a side of tzatziki or hummus, warm pita bread, and a glass of local wine, and you’ve got yourself a feast.

Don’t forget dessert, grilled peaches or figs with a spoonful of mascarpone or Greek yoghurt make a light and delicious finale.

Cooking at Villa Anat isn’t just about the food, it’s about the experience. Whether you're cooking with friends, preparing a romantic dinner, or getting the kids involved, the villas’ beautiful surroundings and open-plan kitchens create the perfect setting.

Bring the flavours of the Mediterranean to your plate, and let your villa holiday become a celebration of good food, good company, and unforgettable memories.
