Description
At the end of a shady dirt road, past ancient olive groves and tiny signs pointing to the lake of Korission lies a small organic farm overlooking the lagoon. This is where your destination angel will introduce you to the enchanting flora and farming practices of southern Corfu, with the help of the friendly local farmers who have run the property for two generations. You’ll learn about healthy, organic farming and the sustainable management practices of this unique, Ionian ecosystem. Listen to the history of the Natura 2000 protected lagoon - a tranquil haven of wildlife, rare flora, and dozens of species of birds and animals – and grasp its impact on the local inhabitants. You’ll meet the animals and observe how domesticated farm beasts live on Corfu. The horse, sheep, and donkeys love to be petted and are waiting for you. Enjoy a splendid walk in an unspoiled environment, enlivened by many face-to-face encounters with the resident animals and conversations with the owners.
Next you may learn how to prepare organic traditional Corfiot and Greek dishes, and even recipes prepared by Ancient Greeks. While your lunch cooks, seize your chance to craft your own soap, body and hand cream with organic olive oil, honey from their own beehives and other natural essences on a “saponification & cosmetics” workshop. You’ll be using the same traditional techniques that humankind has used for thousands of years to take care of our bodies. Finally, it’s time to enjoy your meal of homemade bread and local pie, salad, tzatziki, olive paste & lamb in the pot with rice (or stuffed tomatoes, if you are vegetarian), coupled with a glass of wine or beer.
