The programme

You are invited on an adventure in ‘agróktima’, i.e. an authentic Greek agrotourism near Olympia, where young and old alike will discover the true activities and flavours of the countryside.
You will be welcomed by your hosts and get to know the famous Greek hospitality. Here, hospitality is called ‘xenia’ and is sacred: it was once believed that guests were sent by Zeus.
The welcome is warm and fragrant: for adults, a toast with ouzo, the aniseed-flavoured liqueur of great occasions, or local wine is a must.
This is followed by a visit to the oil mill and a presentation of their production.
Then comes a finale that couldn't be more Greek: a sirtaki lesson and the tasting of local products such as courgettes, aubergines and the typical ‘loukanika’ sausage flavoured with orange peel. Your children will become real ‘Zorba’.
