Join us for an intimate and immersive experience on a private farm tour and cooking class. Nestled in a stunning location surrounded by forests of chestnut, beech, oak, fruit trees, herbs, and cypress trees, our farm offers a unique glimpse into the
natural beauty of the Greek countryside.

Your journey begins with a guided walk around the farm, where you'll explore the lush landscape and learn about the rich biodiversity that thrives here. As you stroll through the fields, you'll have the opportunity to pick fresh greens, aromatic herbs, and seasonal vegetables straight from our garden. You'll also visit the chicken coop to collect farm-fresh eggs, which will be key ingredients in the dishes you’ll prepare.

After gathering your ingredients, you'll join us next to our traditional wood-fired oven, which gently smolders, ready for the culinary adventure ahead. Under the guidance of our expert hosts, you’ll cook a selection of traditional recipes from Greece and the Pelion region, using the fresh produce you've just harvested. This hands-on cooking class is not only a chance to learn about authentic Greek cuisine but also an opportunity to connect with the land and its traditions.

At the end of the class, you'll sit down to enjoy the delicious meal you've prepared, surrounded by the serene beauty of the farm.
