MEDYS 2024
multi-win!

5 out of 8 awards for this year's MEDYS Chefs' & Table-Scaping Competition!
May 15th, 2024

This year, we pay tribute to the wider area that has been hosting the show for years now, Argolida and its rich lands with the theme: "Cooking the Orange"

Challenging the participating chefs to celebrate this iconic fruit by crafting their finest main course dish, elevating the orange to the star ingredient.



In the embrace of the Argolis Region, renowned for its picturesque capital Nafplio and cherished treasure, the orange, this year’s competition elevates this iconic fruit to the forefront.

This year we have the unique pleasure to host two pioneers in their respected culinary field awarded with 2 Michelin stars Chef George Papazacharias of Delta Restaurant in Athens accompanying Chef Luca Piscazzi, Executive Chef of Pelagos Restaurant at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens.

Along with the Chef’s Competition another beloved tradition of MEDYS is the renowned Tablescaping Competition, where they vie to create stunning table settings that complement the culinary creations. 

Table-Scaping: In literal form Table-Scaping means an arrangement of tableware and other beautiful objects on a table. Be it vintage plates, sculptural glassware, print-loaded linens or exclusive glazed ceramics it takes a rather long and detailed procedure to present a quality silver service decor.
