Traditional Delights - Private Tour

 

Enjoy discovering some of the hidden traditional delights of Zakynthos. Visit a winery, and an olive factory and explore charming mountain villages.

The tour starts with the pick up from a pre-arranged location at approximately 10.00 and then heads off to the village of Lagopodo for the first stop at Grampsas Winery. This is a family-run business in a traditional winery producing high-quality and different varieties of wine. There will be a guided tour of the winery and the chance to taste a selection of wines.

Then continuing further into the mountains for the next stop at the Olive Factory in Agios Leon, to find out how olive oil is produced and to sample both the olives and the mountain virgin olive oil served on homemade bread. This will be followed by a walk around the pretty mountain village of Agios Leon, whose history dates back many centuries.
Next on the itinerary is Michalis Taverna in Kampi, where an a la carte lunch will be served. The view from this well-known taverna is spectacular and there is no better way to enjoy a meal.

The final stop of the day will be in the village of Volimes in the north of the island. This mountain village has excellent examples of the traditional architectural style of Zakynthian buildings and is also a wonderful place to wander around and find homemade products and handmade crafts which are still made using traditional methods.
