Petros Syrigos
Owner & Executive Chef gitema
Private Yacht Chef
Petros Syrigos’ journey through gastronomy brings together culinary creativity, experience in demanding professional environments, private dining, entrepreneurship and a strong commitment to sharing gastronomy with a wider audience.
With a focus on Mediterranean cuisine and extensive international experience in high-end gastronomy, he has developed a versatile professional identity across different fields of contemporary culinary culture.
A defining chapter of his career was his 12-year experience as a Private Yacht Chef, from 2010 to 2022. Working aboard luxury yachts and in private residences in Greece and abroad, he was responsible for creating highly personalised culinary experiences while responding to the demanding standards of private luxury hospitality.
Alongside his work as a chef, Petros has also built experience in culinary consulting, contributing to menu development and the setup of restaurants and hotels across Greece, Europe and the United Arab Emirates. This work has given him a broader perspective on the development and operation of contemporary gastronomic concepts.
Today, as Owner & Executive Chef of “Gitema” in Nea Smyrni, he has created his own space for culinary expression, bringing together the knowledge and experience accumulated throughout his career.
He is also the founder of Amahouse, a private culinary studio designed as a versatile space for gastronomy and hospitality. The studio hosts private dining experiences, corporate meals, presentations and specialised cooking workshops.
An important part of his professional identity is his long-standing presence in Greek television and media. Since 2017, he has maintained a daily television presence on some of Greece’s most popular entertainment programmes, sharing recipes, techniques and culinary ideas with a broad audience.
Petros Syrigos’ career is defined by the combination of diverse experiences — from high-end private gastronomy and the international luxury yacht environment to entrepreneurship, consulting, restaurant operations and television.
At Gastrosophy Fest 2026, Petros Syrigos brings his perspective on contemporary cooking, shaped by a career that has evolved across different culinary environments, countries and gastronomic experiences.
