Later, we will share a farmer’s snack consisting of bread, tomatoes, kopanisti, cucumbers and poor man’s black olives, accompanied by the traditional raki while hearing the history of the island’s farming, its livestock and its crops
Depending on the season, you can cut and taste produce from the vegetable garden
For visitors who wish to get involved with farming tasks, the superintendent will provide you with the right tools and instruct you as you go along.
