What you can expect

Begin your journey with a comfortable drive through the beautiful countryside of the Peloponnese before arriving at the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Walk through the legendary archaeological site of Ancient Olympia, admire the Temple of Zeus, explore the ancient stadium, and hear fascinating stories about the athletes, myths, and traditions that shaped the ancient world.

After discovering Olympia, continue to a welcoming local family home in the Greek countryside. There, enjoy a truly authentic culinary experience. Learn how to prepare traditional Greek recipes, cook with fresh local ingredients and local olive oil, and discover family cooking secrets passed down through generations.

Enjoy homemade wine and local delicacies, and share a relaxed meal around the table like a true Greek guest. Depending on the season, dishes may include homemade tzatziki, moussaka, Greek pies, stuffed vegetables, fresh village salad, and traditional desserts.

Following your cooking experience and meal, continue to a traditional local olive mill, where you will learn about one of Greece’s oldest traditions: olive oil production. Discover how extra virgin olive oil is produced, from harvest to pressing, and enjoy a tasting of high-quality local olive oils while learning to recognise their unique aromas and flavours.
