A Day in an Orchard: Fig Delights, Picnic, and Family Fun

    Begin your day early with a delightful, family-friendly tour in a picturesque orchard. Join us as we explore the secrets of dairy products at a family farm. At your first stop, enjoy fresh rice pudding and crispy cheese pie as you learn about local dairy products in a dairy shop.

    Our journey continues to a family-run fig plantation in Porto Rafti, where the sea provides a breathtaking backdrop. Meet the passionate producers, stroll through the orchard and vineyard and discover the important role of the fig tree in Greek cultural heritage. Learn about the different varieties of figs and the complicated process of fig harvesting through a kid-friendly hands-on experience.

    Your day will end with a unique picnic-style tasting, where you can sample fig jam and preserves along with cheese and local delicacies. Pour yourself a glass of wine, find a cozy spot under the old fig trees and let yourself be enchanted by the flavors of the region.
