Begin your day with a scenic bike ride to a charming village, nestled about 11 kilometres outside Argostoli. Here you'll be welcomed with refreshing water and warm smiles. You are then invited into the laboratory to extract honey straight from a honeycomb and taste pure honey, propolis and pollen. Time to roll up your sleeves for a short workshop crafting candles from beeswax – a souvenir that promises to illuminate your evenings back home.
Next, pedal to another village, along a coastal road that meanders through ancient vineyards and verdant groves. Here awaits your second highlight – an olive oil mill steeped in tradition. After an informative tour around the farm, prepare for a session led by an olive oil connoisseur, offering insights into different varieties and their nuances. Paired with a Greek salad and other local delicacies, this tasting experience will leave your taste buds dancing.
