What To Expect
You’ll marvel at the two-storey neo-Classical buildings and discover this city’s rich past, and our stroll will then take you through the small stone-paved alleys of the city’s historic centre, amid small shops bursting with local colours and aromas.
Upon entering the shops, the aroma of the exquisite herbs and spices wafting through the air will transport you to the top of Mt. Taygetos, the local mountain.
You’ll taste local mouth-watering homemade delicacies, flavoursome Messinian appetizers and all sorts of traditional Greek treats.
You’ll take part in a short yet fulfilling olive-oil tasting with a professional and certified olive-oil taster and enjoy exquisite local wines through a short wine tasting along with our oenologist, Mr. Giannis!
A light yet filling lunch will conclude your gastronomic experience and spoil your senses, in one of the cosiest restaurants in the heart of the city.
We assure you won't have to worry about dinner by the end of this experience!
