Our rendezvous point is the Konstantinoupolis hotel. From here, we’ll stroll through the lanes of the historical heart and landmarks until we arrive at Corfu’s vibrant fruit & fish market. We’ll purchase fresh organic produce, freshly picked from Corfian fields, observe the local vendors peddling their merchandises, and immerse in the aroma of fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and herbs! You won’t want to miss out on tasting the AUTHENTIC feta cheese! After our marketplace adventure, you’ll drive your car (we can provide transport at an additional cost, should you not have one) to our villa, 20km distant, where you’ll acquire knowledge on how to create and cook classic Greek dishes. A reception of regional treats will start our “hands on” lunch preparation. Before lunchtime, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the ruins of our family’s two-century-old olive press, nestled in our olive grove, and sample some olive oil - the perfect appetite stimulator for a sumptuous lunch! We welcome you to our home as if you were family and for a few hours of tranquility. It’s a rare opportunity to try a nourishing meal cooked in a wood-fired oven, employing a centuries-old method, the same way our grandmothers used to cook. NOTE: THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDES TRANSFER BY PRE-ARRANGEMENT!
