In the afternoon, pay a visit to some of the area’s producers and taste their top quality products.

Day 3: The charms of Sithonia

Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel. You will proceed to the safest natural anchorage in Northern Greece, named by the great historian Thucydides "Porto Koufo" (deaf port), because the open sea's agitation never reaches its waters. You'll attend a hands-on cooking lesson in one of the area’s best traditional fish taverns and prepare your lunch with the help of an expert chef, using selected ingredients and traditional techniques. One visit to this sea-side traditional fish tavern is enough to become addicted to the mouthwatering dishes of the original Mediterranean cuisine.

Proceed to a local winery and have a tour and wine tasting. Have lunch as it was made in ancient Greece, prepared for you by a specialized chef. Reach the "Aristotle Park", dedicated to the great philosopher Aristotle near the ruins of his birthplace, the ancient city of Stagira. On the way back, visit an agro-touristic farm and taste the fine, organic meat of Mt. Holomontas.

Day 5: Relax in Kassandra

Visit the picturesque village of Afytos. Proceed at a lovely beach and have a swim in the turquoise waters. Afterwards, we leave you to the hands of an expert chef on Greek cuisine, who will give you an unforgettable cooking class, and pass on to you some of his knowledge and passion about the local cuisine. In the evening, dine at the charming little square in the village of Kryopigi.

Move on to Petralona Cave, where the oldest European hominid was found. Experience the best example of healthy and traditional home cooking practices together with a strong taste of great hospitality in a family owned establishment.
