Hello my name is Stergios an aspiring chef from Thessaloniki Greece with many years of experience in high- end restaurants and hotels and my main goal as a private chef right now is to offer my client the best possible cullinary experience.

I am a cullinary graduate and in my beginings i worked at 5 star Hotel Avaton member of the Relais& Chateux family. Afterwards i worked in some well known restaurants around Greece knowing more about our local cuisine which helped me understand food more deeply. Working also in Michelin star restaurants in Belgium and Paris helped me become a chef that prioritizes freshness and good quality ingredients in every dish i make.

For me, cooking is...

A place where i can express my inner self to others and tell a story from where i come from.

I learned to cook at...

At 5 star Hotel Avaton member of the Relais& Chateux family.

A cooking secret...

Always stay possitive and alert no matter the circumstances.

An unforgettable private chef experience — simply extraordinary! We had the absolute pleasure of having Chef Stergios Nikitidis and his wonderful partner Stela cook for us over several days — three incredible breakfasts and two beautiful dinners, including my birthday dinner — and we could not have been more impressed. From the very first meal, it was clear we were in the hands of a true professional. Every dish was outstanding — beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned, and made with the freshest ingredients. Breakfasts were vibrant and full of flavor, while the dinners were elegant yet comforting, with each course better than the last. My birthday dinner was a true highlight: a thoughtful, restaurant-quality experience right in the comfort of our villa, made extra special by Stergios’ attention to detail and Stela’s warm, seamless hosting. Beyond the food, Stergios is simply a great guy — warm, personable, and deeply passionate about his craft. Both he and Stela made the entire experience feel effortless and joyful, leaving our kitchen spotless after each meal. If you’re looking for an exceptional private chef experience that combines Michelin-level quality with genuine hospitality, look no further than Stergios and Stela. We feel lucky to have found them and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to turn a trip or celebration into something truly memorable.
