Giorgos Foskolos and Fragiskos Amoiralis count more than 30 years of “pastry-making” presence in the island. In 1975, they leave Athens behind to move to Tinos and together start Mesklies, aiming at making people’s lives as sweet as they can.
With the use of pure and quality ingredients, they carried on the traditional tinian recipes yet they didn’t hesitate to experiment on new, original ideas thus creating pastries whose savor is kept in everyone’s mind for a long time.
As a matter of fact, since 1991, Mesklies has evolved the traditional concept of a pastry shop, as it also provides café services. In this way, the beloved “ritual” of coffee is combined with sweet temptations which no one can resist in. For the standards of those days, the formation of a café-pastry shop was a significant pioneering endeavor for Cyclades.
So, with respect to tradition and emphasis on superior quality of the ingredients used, Mesklies invites you every day to a sweet game of savors, colors and aromas… try the handmade ice-cream made of fresh tinian milk and you will find out what true taste really means. Before you leave the island, make sure that you have bought the exceptional macaroons as well as the fantastic “lychnarakia”, the sweet cheese pies with the 2.000year history!
