The open-air terrace of the Amphora restaurant offers casual dining and sea views while at the Helios, Anassa’s main dining room, you can enjoy a vast choice from either the à la carte or table d’hôte menus. For a romantic, candle-lit treat the Basiliko serves a fusion of Asian and Mediterranean cuisine. If you prefer snacks by one of the hotel’s three swimming pools, the Pelagos offers light meals, ice creams and thirst quenching cocktails. Many of the ingredients are organically grown at the hotel’s own farm and fresh fish are brought daily by the fishermen of Latchi. The architecture of the Anassa hotel has been designed to mimic a classical Greek village with its whitewashed villas and louvred shutters.
