SIMA TINOS. The journey may indeed be important, but the destination, in the case of Pyrgos, which is relatively far from Chora, compensates the traveler with a unique experience. Part of this experience is also Sima and its team continuously trying to create essential and unforgettable summer moments to friends who will be nearby (=”sima” in greek), gathering around a table and sharin news, stories and special tastes. That’s why friends are for…
The sense of overall quality is felt at first glance when you arrive at the beautiful building that houses Sima, on the main road a few meters off the entrance to the village. In a quiet spot with a special view, a little outside the bustling center of the village, it offers the alternative and suitable condition for tranquility and absolute relaxation. Its aesthetics emphasize the elegant and youthful atmosphere in harmony with the authentic character of the architecture and the tradition of the place, always remaining modern though. Its trademark is “the goat” leading you to the table of your choice awaiting for you to share.
The goat you occasionally meet out of the blue in the streets of the island, symbolizes the purity but also the need to search for the best quality food. It is the goat who will reach the most inaccessible places in order to search and find the most tender crops. Things are easier for you. All you have to do is choose from the carefully selected menu what will soon be in your hands. Freshness and seasonality is what counts most. Vegetables and legumes mixed in fresh salads, cheeses from the Cyclades, sourdough bread that is fermented daily are the favorites. All dishes are created from scratch with their basic ingredients of love and passion to be present from preparation to service. They are accompanied by your choice from the carefully selected wine list that includes exclusively Greek varieties, some rare and forgotten over the years. Particular emphasis is placed on mild intervention wines that highlight the dynamics of the domestic vineyard.
In Sima you will find yourself in the morning for coffee and breakfast, at noon for a light lunch, on the terrace for wine after the beach or in the evening for dinner while gazing at the stars. In any case, if, returning from vacation, you talk to your friends about that time in Pyrgos, about that food that surprised you or about the wine that you didn’t know and you have to find again, the goat will smile, pleased that it brought you close (=Sima)!
