From Athens: An Exploration Of The Olive Oil Culture In Greece

Your culinary and cultural adventure will begin with your private transport picking you up from your accommodation in order for your day trip to commence. The first stop of your day trip will take place in the imposing Corinth Canal, where you’ll have time to admire the narrow strip of land that connects Central Greece with the Peloponnese and brings together the Saronic Gulf with the Corinthian Gulf.

After taking your fill of this stunning sight, it will be time to head to your second stop: an olive grove tour and olive oil tasting that you’ll never forget! Your walk through the olive grove, along with the expert professionals, will give you the opportunity to learn the role of the olive tree in Greek heritage and culture, along with its contribution to Greek history, mythology, and economy. 

Additionally, you will get to see a very unique olive variety that can hardly be found anywhere else in the world, the Manaki trees. Your tour will come to an end with an olive oil tasting at the highest point of the olive grove. You will sample a wide variety of olive oil varieties and pair them with food that brings out their flavor in the best way possible.

For your last stop, you will be mesmerized by a luxurious wine-tasting experience that will allow you to indulge in the aromas of Greek wine, before returning to Athens full of beautiful memories and culinary delights!
