Our Story

Welcome to Amarantos Traditional Bakery, where the aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries fills the air every morning in the heart of Vathy, Ithaca.

We are a family-run bakery dedicated to preserving the authentic flavors of traditional Greek baking. Our skilled bakers arrive before dawn to prepare our signature sourdough breads, flaky pies, and sweet pastries using time-honored recipes passed down through generations.

What makes us special is our commitment to quality ingredients and traditional methods. From our famous "Agio Oritico" (Sacred Mountain) bread to our delicate baklava, every item is crafted with care and passion. Our customers return not just for the exceptional taste, but for the warm Greek hospitality – the filoxenia – that makes every visit memorable.

"Our favorite bakery during our Greece sailing trip (and we tried A LOT). Everything was fresh with lots of options. Don't miss the Bougatsa (custard), cheese, and Greek donut. Make sure to go early as they sell out fast"

"I do love the bread, most of the time, I take the dark one. And what is the best for me, are the different pies. They change nearly every week and they taste perfect. And the Team is very friendly and so polite, even when there is a lot of work."
