Christos Klonaris — “Passas”

A life spent cooking, a heart close to the sea.

Christos Klonaris

Our own “Passas”.

En Plo’s story begins with Christos Klonaris, our much-loved “Passas”. Cooking was his passion from an early age, and he made it his life’s work. Working as a cook aboard ships took him around the world. The people he met and the flavours he discovered along the way shaped the way he cooked and welcomed his guests.

He and his wife, Manti, built a life together, sharing dreams, hard work and happy times. After years abroad, they decided to return home and open a place of their own, bringing together their love of good food and of making people feel welcome.

In 2000, they opened En Plo, a small place beside the sea in Diapori. With hard work and care, it grew into a favourite gathering place for friends, families and visitors. Passas gave it its character: his love of cooking, and his determination to give every guest his best. En Plo moved to its present home in 2010, with the same sea view and the same warm welcome.

En Plo carries the story of a life devoted to cooking and to bringing people together. What began as Christos’s dream lives on in the care we take, the welcome we offer and the food we share. Thank you for being part of that story.

En Plo today

The story continues with us.

Today, Christos’s son Giorgos, Lina, Manti and the whole team are writing the next chapter of En Plo. We’re proud to carry on what he started, and we know how much work and love went into making this place what it is.

The things that matter to us haven’t changed: a warm welcome, food cooked with care and getting to know the people who visit us. Just as Christos used to, Giorgos will stop by your table to say hello and have a chat. We’re bringing our own ideas to En Plo while staying true to its roots.

Good food is made for sharing.

We cook with fresh local ingredients and a love of the flavours that bring people together. All our ingredients come from local producers and livestock farmers. Portions are generous, with dishes set in the middle of the table for everyone to share.

Favourites include prawn pasta, lamb chops and our grilled bifteki, a beef patty made to our much-loved “secret” recipe. You’ll also find seafood, meze and familiar Greek dishes, best enjoyed with a glass of wine or tsipouro and good company.

From our kitchen to your table.

A table with a view.

En Plo sits on the edge of Diapori, looking out over the boats to the low hills across the bay. As the day passes, the changing light gives the view a different character.

In the evening, we switch on the terrace lights. Tables fill, conversations linger and the bay becomes the backdrop to another evening together.
