THE TRADITIONAL OVEN

A forgotten way of cooking

Cooking in a traditional wood-fired oven was at the heart of Epirus cuisine for generations.

Today, it has become a rare technique, largely replaced by modern cooking methods.

At Thamon, we continue to preserve this tradition, giving our guests the opportunity to enjoy an authentic experience that very few have the chance to discover.

Fire, time and exceptional ingredients create flavours that cannot be reproduced in any other way.
