We had a fantastic time sampling local wines, raki, and olive oil, with a charming guide who added personal stories to every tasting. The only hiccup was our transportation was slightly delayed, but it gave us more time to chat and bond as a group before diving into the flavors.

Participating in this small group experience was a delightful way to dive into the local flavors of the region. I relished the variety of olive oils, each more aromatic than the last, and the charming tales shared by my guide added a personal touch to the tastings. While the setting was breathtaking, I wished for a bit more time to really soak in the vibrant atmosphere among the vineyards.
