And then, imagine enjoying the visit to this authentic agricultural family, learning the tradition, Greek culture, local history and much more.Then, sitting at the table together to taste the local dish; artichokes as a stew or with lamb slowly cooked! Not to mention the home-made fresh bread from their wheat and mill!
