The fresh, earthy scent of herbs and soil fills the air, and the peaceful atmosphere instantly makes you feel at home. Meet the friendly animals that play a vital role in the daily lives of the farm.

Harvest your own ingredients for the meal you’ll prepare. Guide you through the vegetable garden, where you’ll pick tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and other seasonal produce.

Next, step into the rustic outdoor kitchen, where you’ll learn how to prepare Sfela, a semi-hard, brined cheese that is a specialty of the region. You’ll also make Anthotyro, a soft, creamy cheese with a delicate flavor.

With fresh ingredients in hand, it’s time to prepare an authentic Greek meal. Under the guidance of your hosts, cook a variety of traditional dishes, including Kagianas, a rustic dish made with eggs, fresh tomatoes, and local cheese, cooked to perfection.

Grill free-range beef patties, served with fresh garden greens, and a side of homemade tzatziki. Make a Greek salad, a mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta cheese, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.

Enjoy freshly baked bread made with local flour and baked in a traditional wood-fired oven. Learn about the cultural significance of each dish, along with cooking techniques that you can easily recreate at home.

Gather around a beautifully set table, surrounded by olive trees and the sounds of nature. Sharing a meal in the open air, with flavors that embody the land and its traditions, is an experience you’ll never forget.
