What is this?
Welcome to a charming traditional Greek family farmhouse in the scenic Peloponnese. Located just a 30-minute drive from Nafplio or Mycenae, this experience immerses you in nature and rich Greek culture.
Start with a delightful Greek aperitivo before touring the storerooms filled with aromatic herbs and premium olive oil. You’ll explore the family’s art of soap-making, guided by their dedication to natural ingredients and recipes passed down through generations: craft natural soaps using their grandmother’s timeless recipe, enriched with honey and olive oil.
Then stroll through the olive grove, and learn how olives are transformed into exquisite olive oil. Watch as a delicious meal is baked in the courtyard’s wood-fired oven, filling the air with the aromas and flavors of Greece. Gather around the table to savor the meal, sharing stories and laughter. End your day with a lively Sirtaki dance, creating unforgettable memories of Greek hospitality and tradition.
What makes this unique?
This experience is a rare blend of tradition, creativity, and heartfelt Greek hospitality, offering an authentic connection to life in the Peloponnese. Guided by Gerasimos, Tina, and Stelios, you’ll explore their family’s time-honored traditions, from soap-making with their grandmother’s olive oil recipe to preparing a meal in a wood-fired oven.
You’ll harvest fresh vegetables from the family garden, gather olives from the grove, and learn how they transform their extra virgin olive oil into handcrafted soap. Each activity is enriched by the family’s dedication to sustainability and their passion for preserving local culture.
The day culminates in a communal dinner featuring specialties like moussaka and tzatziki, where laughter and stories flow freely. And as the sun sets, you’ll join in a lively Sirtaki dance, celebrating the spirit of Greek togetherness. This sensory journey into the heart of Greek traditions will leave you with cherished memories and a true sense of belonging.
