HONEY TASTING AND AGRITOURISM IN OLYMPIA
Blessed place, blessed people, delicious flavors.
What is better than visiting the old-time classical monuments of the Ancient World?
Of course, we are referring to the Ancient Olympia, otherwise known as the Valley of Gods,
where the most celebrated sanctuary of ancient Greece lies. Visit the birthplace
of the ancient Olympic Games: the most important athletic mega-event of all times;
Be a part of a Greek family while you hear their family stories, see old pictures,
try fresh products locally sourced and more.
Highlights:
- Visit the Ancient Olympia
- Visit an old family farm heritage
- Enjoy nature
- Taste handmade sweets, fresh juice & honey
- Savor famous Greek dishes such as gemista, spinach and cheese pies

An 1,5 hour of guided tour in a family farm. Learn about local herbs, crops, beehives and be welcomed into the family by gazing at old family photos revealing you the history behind this heritage. Taste handmade sweets, fresh juice and honey.
Take part at a small display of cooking lesson delivered by the grandmother of the family. Sit and enjoy the nature along with the quietness of the farmhouse.
After your visit to the family farm, the next stop at a local traditional family tavern will give you the opportunity to savor your favorite Greek dishes such as mousaka, gemista, tzatziki, imam, spinach and cheese pies.
This is your chance to feel the real & authentic Greek hospitality. Philoxenia is the Greek word for hospitality consisting of two words: Philos (friend) and Xenos (stranger), becoming friend with strangers. There are no words to describe that kind of experience, you can only live it.
There is an optional cooking lesson offered by this tavern which can take place before or after your lunch. Master the Greek traditional meals using the guidance and the know-how of this three-generation family who owns the restaurant. Blessed place, blessed people and delicious tastes. Those tasteful memories will remind you of your Greek friends and that’s a good reason to keep coming back!
