Visit to an Environmental Centre, Hiking and Visit to Traditional Shop

Maria, the owner, will reveal some of the secrets of local products, including trachanas (fermented milk pasta), liqueurs, homemade desserts and spoon sweets, and excellent cheeses. As a matter of fact, her sour cherry spoon sweet has received an award in a Greek contest!
