Okeanos serves fine examples of Local, Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, get lost in the depths of taste while enjoying your favourite dish on our beautiful setup. Greeks love their food. We love to eat and feed others. Kos is a place where you are guaranteed never to go hungry. Local cuisine mainly uses fresh local ingredients such as Mediterranean vegetables, olive oil, Greek yogurt, Greek honey, feta cheese, various types of fish and meat.
Mezedes or meze are the small plates of food served with ouzo since in Greece it is customary to eat while you drink. Ouzo is never served without mezedes! Furthermore, Ouzo’s cousins, raki, tsipouro and tsikoudia which are similar in spirit but without the anise-licorice taste are also served with meze which soften the effects of these powerful drinks and enable you to drink and talk for hours rather than getting drunk and incoherent. You will rarely see the Greeks rip-roaring drunk. This is because they drink slowly, eat meze and in between every bite are talking, listening, watching or reflecting.
