Cheese tasting

For the cheese lovers, a food memory that you will never forget

We have selected several family-run businesses that produce many types of famous and lesser-known Greek cheeses. Most of the production is for local consumption, using traditional and modern techniques of cheese making.

The best creameries of the Argolis region, in the Peloponnese, are located near Epidaurus or Hermione, in some mountainous villages.
Ιn those pastoral villages, those families of cheesemakers started producing high-quality products several decades ago, from the 1950’s.
Today, the second or third generation continues the tradition of cheese making in modern facilities. Their love for their traditional art of cheese is evident in their excellent products. This is an opportunity for you to try several authentic Greek cheeses that you might not have heard of. Mizithra dry, gruyere, manouri-mizithra, and of course, feta. They also produce delicacies such as Gruyere filled with pepper, oregano, or saffron. The tour will start from their creameries (depending on the area) to learn more about the cheese-making procedure. Then you will taste the best Greek (and not only!) cheeses that you can imagine!

Minimum number of participants in cheese tasting: 2

Additional activities in the area: Hiking, visiting nearby famous monasteries, visiting the unknown Acropolis of Midea and Necropolis of Dendra, Trachia and more, lunch in those mountainous villages with authentic and traditional dishes such as lamb roasted in the oven.
