We visit Mycenae, the Golden Kingdom of Agamemnon and admire the most famous ancient theater of all times, Epidaurus.We reach the ancient city of Mycenae (1,5hrs drive) where the Cyclopean Walls “take our breath”, as until today no explanation can be found regarding their construction. Mycenae is considered the greatest and richest kingdom of the later Bronze Age (around 1350B.C).Next stop is the beautiful seaside city of Nafplio, the first capital of Greece, where we enjoy a traditional Greek lunch. The oldest area of the city is called Acronafplia, with various traditional spots and above it we can see the Castle of Palamidi, and the Castle of Bourtzi in a small island emerging from the Argolic gulf.Then, we head to the epicenter of the ancient drama: the theater that is considered the one with the best acoustic balance worldwide, the Ancient Epidaurus. Today in Epidaurus, modern artists organize newer versions of ancient tragedies as well as the Festival of Epidaurus.

Marvel at some of the most important and unique archaeological monuments, such as the Athenian Stoa, the Treasury of the Athenians, the Polygonal Wall, and of course the Temple of Apollo and the Archaeological Museum, which hosts globally known artifacts like the Naxian Sphinx, the frieze of the Treasury of the Sifnians, the bronze Charioteer and the statue of Antinoos. Our final stop is the picturesque village of Arachova. Here we are suggesting you have your lunch, in one of the many traditional restaurants, walk around the narrow alleys and buy local delicacies, such as Formaela cheese.

MYKONOS

DISCOVER AUTHENTIC MYKONOS  (Duration: approx 4hrs )

After your pick up from the hotel or cruise ship(*), we will depart in the morning at 10:30 a.m. starting from the port of Mykonos, to enjoy the tour around the island from a different point of view, full of traditional and authentic images and experiences. Our first stop will be at a very well known site which all the island’s visitors must see, in order to capture a panoramic Mykonos Town photo shooting. Following the picture taking we will visit the picturesque small port of St. Ioannis, an area which was named after a small church dedicated to Saint Ioannis and one of great historical significance. We will visit the church, along with the Saint’s cell where the annual fair in his name is also being held. The small port in front of us is the starting point of the local fishing boats which are protected here from the island’s strong north winds. Right afterwards we will depart towards the Mykonos’ airport, where we will have a panoramic view of the airport’s runway and perhaps we are lucky enough to catch a plane taking off or landing. Leaving the airport behind us, we will be headed towards Ano Mera Village and pass through one entirely different scenery, one of the island’s most typical agricultural and stock raising areas, where we will observe small local cultivated fields and even some domestic animals in local family owned farms. We will head towards the Ano Mera village’s colorful square, where one of the island’s two monasteries is located (“Panagia Tourliani”) and we will be guided through its chambers. You can also take a glimpse at the nearby open air market with vegetables and other local products . After capturing all these images of Mykonian countryside and its lifestyle, we will reach the farm of the Mykonian Spiti, where we will be guided by our escort and always under the directions of the farm’s superintendent. Whoever wishes may also use the farm’s tools and get involved with the farming work and tasks in co-operation with the superintendent. Take this opportunity to get closer to the domestic animals and the farm’s traditional organic cultivation. There is a Light Snack option for anyone who is interested  to taste the local products from the traditional farm. As we continue our tour, we will be passing by some of the most distant beaches of Mykonos, named “Kalo Livadi”, “Kalafati” and also see “Agia Anna”. At the end of the tour we will drive you back to your hotel or the location of your choice

MYKONOS EBIKE TOUR (Duration: approx. 4hrs)

An ideal tour for the explorers of Mykonos’ cultural and natural heritage. The cycling tour starts at the organic vineyard and farm “Mykonos Vioma”. Dimitra’s dad has run the farm for 30 years, he took it on as a ruin and has created the only biodynamic vineyard on Mykonos. We first cycle at the rural part of the island –some off-road also, through a short single track- in Ano Mera, before visiting a family church, which will give us the opportunity to interpret Mykonos’ local traditions, typical landscapes and religious customs. At the village of Ano Mera we rest, refresh with homemade lemonade & a snack and allow you free time to visit its monastery and museum. Then we will cycle down to Fokos beach where we have enough time for swimming & underwater photo shooting (weather permitting) OR alternatively hiking. When we return, we will have lunch with our farm-to-table & local Greek tapas, as well as taste our wines, and take in the beautiful view. Finally, you may enjoy a tour of our vineyard and of course play with, or hand feed our farm animals.

COOKING CLASS IN TRADITIONAL FARM  (Duration: 6hrs )

Although this activity highlights the traditional factor of the Mykonian lifestyle, on the other hand a “traditional” description of its “programme” hardly does it justice. This may sound vague, but during these 6 hours (approximately) you will experience the traditional Greek way of life, the culture, the Greek art of cooking. It is not what you will do, it is mostly how you will do it. During this time you will learn tips and cooking methods, but most importantly you will instil the hospitality and the everyday lifestyle of a traditional Mykonian family. To become a bit more specific, after you are collected from your hotel (or the port or the location you prefer) and transferred to the Mykonian Spiti, Teta will wholeheartedly invite you into her beautiful Mykonian home and create a charming and intimate evening that will turn this visit to the “Island of the Winds” into a highlight of your trip. She will teach you about Mykonian culture and history, share stories about her family’s life and make you feel just as if you are visiting close relatives or friends. She will share stories about Mykonian true lifestyle and chat with you while you will taste and enjoy some Mykonian meze snacks like dakos with kopanisti cheese and tomato, louza (sun dried pork fillets), wine and Cretan raki. You will wander through her vegetable garden, learn about local organic farming and enjoy a wonderful time.And then onto the kitchen where we you will make tzatziki, spinach pie, stuffed peppers and tomatoes and everything else in our Mykonian Spiti’s traditional menu. All guests, will be supplied with protective equipment (aprons) from the Mykonian Spiti estate. Most cooking ingredients will be readily available in special bowls in the kitchen area ready for the menu preparation. Teta will guide you through the whole procedure, giving the opportunity to everyone to master their cooking skills. There is a small intermission between the preparation and the tasting stage, which can be used for a short period of relaxation and to enjoy the company of those around you, but after that lunch or dinner starts, where you can consume as much as your belly holds. There are many other details to the “class” that we could share with you but the essence is that as you can see, this is much more than learning to cook a fabulous Greek meal. It is also about family, conversation, food and culture and becoming a member of a family that perhaps you didn’t even know you had. It is quality time in the home of someone close to you, finding yourself in their kitchen helping to cook, enjoying the experience of meeting new people and honouring us by becoming a part of our family.
