Flavours of Greece - a food and wine tour

Take a walk in the picturesque streets of Athens, with your local city expert. While you explore the neighbourhoods of Athens, Plaka and Psirri, you’ll learn about the Athenians and their everyday life. On the way, you’ll try a variety of Greek ‘street food’.

Moving forward, you will visit a family restaurant tucked away in one of Athens’ most popular neighbourhoods, where you will sample authentic recipes with local fresh Greek ingredients.

The production of olive oil is one of Greece’s most important agricultural activities, and during this experience you’ll get to witness and even participate in the age-old tradition of olive harvesting and milling at Liotrivi Estate. 

Under the watchful eye of the estate gardener, you’ll gather the ripe fruit by hand, using small rakes and olive nets draped on the ground. It’s a great way to learn about the traditional, low-impact farming methods used here. Then you’ll watch as the olives are crushed in the old stone mill to produce fresh oil, an ancient practice dating back thousands of years. If you choose to adopt a tree, which the staff will care for at the estate, you’ll receive a certificate, updates and pictures documenting the tree’s annual progress and a bottle of extra virgin olive oil or a jar of olives.

Be introduced to the best of Santorini’s gastronomy on this tour exploring the island’s food and wine culture. Enjoy a delicious three-course meze menu of traditional dishes with recipes that stretch back generations and visit two family-owned wineries.

This private cruise combines swimming and snorkelling along with dinner on board while sailing across the sea as the sun sets.

During your tour, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the hot springs, sail past the volcano and admire the beautiful coastline and beaches. As the sun is setting, you’ll make your way back towards the port and enjoy the dreamy view.
