  • First we select dakos rusks –the unique kind that is made in Crete- and place them on a plate.
  • Then we cut fresh tomatoes in thin slices and place them among the dakos rusks.
  • In the center we place a large portion of katiki cheese produced in Skopelos island.
  • Finally we add a few greek olives and a bit of fresh parsley before adding some Greek extra virgin olive oil.
