ZERO KILOMETERS FOOD IN MYCENAE - PELOPONNESE
Imagine this scene: Sitting under an aged old plane tree, next to a fountain, hearing waterfalls and flowing streams, an authentic local café-restaurant will serve you only local seasonal food. The permanent population of the village is just 3 families who are shepherds. They own sheep and goats & make cheese with old methods maturing them in caves.
Zero kilometers - Back to our roots!
