Boat Ride and Traditional Lunch in Messinia

Messinia is in the south-west of the region, where you’ll be greeted with an incredible landscape. As well, of course, as fantastic food.

Allowing you to snorkel, fish, swim or just dip a toe in the beautiful clear waters before settling down for an authentic lunch.

Olive Harvesting and Lunch in Messinia

This is very much a “hands-on” food experience in Peloponnese. Where guests are invited to take part in every step of the olive harvesting process, from beating the trees to picking the fruits. There’s also time to enjoy a selection of other local delicacies. However, please note the best time to visit for harvesting season is during November.

Pasta Making and Olive Oil Tasting in Messinia

It’s not just the Italians that mastered the art of making pasta, as this cookery class in Messinia will demonstrate. Learn to perfect home-made pasta, served locally with dishes such as the classic rooster in a tomato sauce.

Next, we turn our attention to the South East of Greece and visit Laconia for olive oil and wine tasting. After all, wine tours in Peloponnese will visit an abundance of wineries and vineyards, with the region being responsible for approximately a 3^rd of all Greek wine.
