Perivoli Farm Experience and Wood-Fire Cooking Class
The tour commences at a family-owned farm located near the village of Melanes. To begin, guests will have the opportunity to meet a diverse range of farm animals, including chickens, rabbits, pigs, peacocks, and more. You will also have the chance to collect the day's freshly laid eggs. Following that, a visit to the olive groves will allow you to learn about the methods used to cultivate healthy trees and produce top-quality olive oil. Next, we will guide you through the potato fields, introducing you to the renowned Naxian potato. You will then have the chance to explore various fruit trees and sample the delicious seasonal fruits they yield. The experience continues with a visit to the vineyard and vegetable garden, where you can gather the finest seasonal produce. Finally, you will collaborate in cooking traditional Naxian recipes over a wood fire. This culinary adventure includes preparing a Naxian omelette and an appetizer such as zucchini balls, with tzatziki as a dipping sauce, savouring Naxian potatoes, sampling a variety of Naxos cheeses, preparing a main dish such as 'briam' or 'gemista', and enjoying locally produced house wine. To top it off, you will have the opportunity to taste a spoonful of our homemade fruit preserves. To conclude, if you're in the mood for some fun, you can even take part in lively traditional Naxian dances together.
