Kos Olive Oil Tasting & Farm Tour Experience
The experience in our family farm is unique it will also remain unforgettable to every guest as it is a once in a lifetime experience. To begin with, most people ignore the tasting process of olive oil as it can be tasted with two different senses; not only with our mouth but also with our nose. The experience will begin with a walk in our estate in order for our guests to familiarize with the whole process of production. Additionally, the experience will continue with a visit to the specially designed space where olive oil is stored and there our guests will be able to taste olive oil, according to the official procedure using the appropriate blue glasses. Finally, they will have the chance to try traditional Greek cuisine by Mama Kontessa in the family taverna which is located next to our farm.

Είμαστε μια μικρή φάρμα στην Σαντορίνη. Γίνεται μια περιήγηση στην αρχή της γνωριμίας μας στον χώρο μας, ώστε να δείξουμε την αγάπη μας στα ζωάκια της φάρμας μας και περισσότερο στα άλογα μας καθώς και τις δραστηριότητες που κάνουμε εντός της φάρμας. Ανεξάρτητα αν έχετε κάποια εμπειρία ιππασίας ή όχι, θα θέλαμε να μας επισκεφτείτε. Ξεκινάμε γνωρίζοντας με τα άλογα τα οποία θα κάνετε ιππασία, γιατί πάντα μια γνωριμία πριν την βόλτα μας είναι η καλύτερη! Στη συνέχεια, θα κάνουμε ένα μάθημα για αρχάριους σχετικά με το πώς να ξεκινήσετε, να σταματήσετε και να καθοδηγήσετε το άλογό σας. Αυτό το μάθημα σχετικά με τα βασικά της ιππασίας είναι επίσης μια περίοδος σύνδεσης με εσάς και τον νέο σας φίλο. Μόνο όταν όλοι αισθάνονται άνετα τότε θα ξεκινάμε για την βόλτα μας! Ξεκινώντας από την φάρμα μας θα πάμε σε ένα μονοπάτι όπου έχει χωράφια, διάφορα φυτά και στο τέλος της διαδρομής βρισκόμαστε στην θάλασσα! Δεν βλέπετε την επιθυμητή ημερομηνία; Μη διστάσετε να ζητήσετε μια ώρα και θα δούμε αν θα τα καταφέρουμε. Μη διστάσετε να στείλετε μήνυμα αν έχετε απορίες. Ελπίζουμε να σας δούμε σύντομα!

Hiking Breathtaking Akramitis Mountain
The hike starts from Monolithos, a beautiful rural village on the West side of the island. The top of Akramitis Mountain, the second highest of the island of Rhodes, is your goal! The hike ascends, gradually at first, on green slopes full of aromatic herbs like sage under the shade of the cypress trees that overlook the bay of Apollakia - giving you multiple opportunities for amazing photos. After the first part, the path gets more demanding until you find yourselves hiking through beautiful alpine meadows and you soon reach the chapel of St John. Time for a well-deserved stop, before setting off again to get to the top. Once arrived at the summit, the views are amazing. You will admire the nearby islands of Halki, Alimia, Tilos and even Karpathos and the inland area of Rhodes . To go down, we follow a different trail though tall pine trees. This hike offers you the chance to explore a totally undiscovered area of the island, and will surely convince you that Rhodes is more than it seems. Other things to note This hike is suitable for guests that have a fairly good physical fitness. It is considered moderate/strenuous - Difficulty 3/5. The distance covered is 9.2km. It does not have particularly difficult passages, but it's quite long and uphill on the first part. Definitely worth the effort though :)
Hiking and discovering the unspoiled part of Mykonos
Join me in a 6,2 km cirdular hiking adventure at the off the beaten track Mykonos, in order to discover the island's authentic and unspoiled north-eastern side.

The breath-taking natural topographies promise a delightful hike through changing landscapes. We will first walk through donkey paths among meadows, offering us the perfect setting for the interpretation of the typical Mykonian landscape and architecture. When we reach a pristine beach of the northern coastline, we can rest under the shade of trees and refresh with my homemade organic lemonade and a traditional dessert, but also swim at the Aegean Sea's crystalline waters and take unique underwater photos (weather permitting us to dive of course). As we start our gentle climb through a different path back, we encounter a wild and untouched landscape at this isolated part of the island. Upon reaching our organic farm and vineyard, you can shake off the dust and fatigue by unwinding among the vines and soaking up the Mediterranean sun! One last detail; if you are travelling with your dogs, we will be more than happy to have them joining our tour!
