The ancient Greek kitchen was a central part of the household, where food preparation and cooking took place. The design of the kitchen in ancient Greece was simple and functional, with a focus on efficiency. The kitchen typically consisted of a hearth for cooking, a worktable for food preparation, and storage areas for ingredients and utensils. The coastal cottage design would incorporate elements of Greek architecture, such as white-washed walls, stone floors, and open-air windows to allow for natural light and ventilation.
