The ideal SYMPOSIUM in Ancient Greece was almost like a ritual. Its aim was to savor the aesthetic pleasure of the wine, to be intoxicated just enough to relax and release the mind from inhibition, and to stimulate conversation.

It was a social institution where great philosophers and great thinkers were having deep and meaningful conversations stimulating the mind.

The SYMPOSIUM belonged exclusively to the privilege elite and it was characterized by its philosophical and political conversation and creative competition, in which elegies were sung to the accompaniment of a FLUTE and LYRIC songs by the LYRE. The SYMPOSIUM usually took place in the ANDRON the mens room, the most well appointed room in the house.

Our Symposium opened its doors some centuries later, actually in 1998,aiming and succeeding in providing an exclusive cuisine, the best service and a most relaxing atmosphere for our clientele. Its activities were dictated by a symposiarch, which decided up on the entertainment for the occasion and even how much water would be mixed with the wine.
