Panos Sarris – A small CV…
My career in the world of taste starts in 1999 at “Liberty Restaurant” in Kolonaki – Athens where I worked at the service.
In 2001 I permanently moved to Kefalonia and made the “Preview, Pool side Cafe – Bar” in Lassi until 2004 that transfer as a restaurant in Avithos Beach (Avithos Preview) and operates each summer season.
The winter of 2004-2005 begins a beautiful journey in the world of wine when I studied in “Le Monde” -Athens in Sommelier section.
Since then I visit wineries, wine exhibitions and restaurants worldwide.
In 2006 participated at the “National Sommelier Competition” and in 2007 where won the 2nd place.

We had a really memorable evening at Avithos Taverna! The food was sublime, the staff were extremely friendly and the setting fantastic. We were especially lucky, as a group of local Greek musicians were also dining there and they provided really good Greek music all evening. Lots of eating, drinking and laughing - overall a really memorable experience.
