Full description

Make and sample traditional Greek dishes with a local cook, delight your palate with award-winning wine from the Rhodes region, and visit the women’s agricultural cooperative to learn about their work on this interactive cultural tour.

Begin your tour in the unspoiled mountain village of Apollona, nestled on the foothills of Profitis Ilias. Stop for a quick tour of an agricultural co-op and learn how these proud, resourceful women run the enterprise. Hear about their decisions, and goals, and watch the production of a local delicacy. From there, on foot, you take a walk through the village and learn about what the locals grow and how they live.

Next, head to a winery and learn about the various local grape varieties from your guide. Savor a glass of delectable wine and understand first-hand why Rhodes produces many award-winning wines. Enjoy a cooking class from a talented local cook in the village who will share her secrets in making traditional, famous Greek food. Try making tzatziki and eggplant salad. Learn how to make dishes including dolmadakia (stuffed vine leaves), and Greek cheese pies.

Finally, conclude your time in Apollona by feasting on the exceptional lunch that you and your fellow cooks have lovingly prepared. Then, visit a traditional Kafeneion and learn how to make traditional Greek coffee and sample it.

Unsere Guides waren super nett und wir haben viel über die Insel und ihre Menschen erfahren. Der Spaziergang durch den Ort, die Weinverkostung, der Kochkurs und der kurze Stopp in einem kleinen Café waren gut vorbereitet und von der Dauer her genau richtig. Wir haben nichts zu bemängeln und können die Tour nur weiterempfehlen 😊 Vielen lieben Dank nochmal!

Dit was de beste tour die ik op Rhodos heb gedaan! Je wordt in de ochtend door de gids en zij brengt jou naar de locatie. Tijdens de reis naar de locatie verteld ze ook over alles wat je langsrijdt een stukje geschiedenis erachter en geeft aan waar je leuke activiteiten kan doen. Eenmaal aangekomen op de locatie ga je allemaal leuke activiteiten doen. Koken, wijn proeven, Griekse koffie drinken etc. Het koorgedeelte vond ik heel leuk ondanks dat ik er niet heel goed in was. Het werd steeds door een kok voor gedaan hoe je het gerecht moest maken en dat moesten wij nadoen. Daarna ga je eten wat je hebt gemaakt + gerechten wat de kok heeft gemaakt. Het wijnproeven vond ik ook heel erg leuk. Je krijgt er ook dingen bij om te eten & na afloop kun je ervoor kiezen om nog iets te kopen. Je kunt er gewoon pinnen! Ten slotte was de gids echt top!! Super aardig en wist veel over het eiland te vertellen.

Wir durften einen sehr lehrreichen und wunderschönen Tag in Apollona verbringen. Abseits des Tourismus konnten wir zahlreiche lokale Süßwaren und leckere Weine verkosten. Das Highlight der Tour war der Kochkurs. Hier versuchten wir uns, mit professioneller Unterstützung, an traditionellen Gerichten die anschließend zum Mittagessen aufgetischt wurden. Abschließend bekamen wir in einem historischen Museum einen Einblick in die Vergangenheit der Insel. Ein großer Dank geht auch an unseren Guide Maria, die uns mit zahlreichen Informationen durch den Tag geführt hat. Die Tour ist ein absolutes Muss, wenn man nicht nur an Sonne und Meer interessiert ist sondern auch an dem Land, welches sehr viel mehr zu bieten hat. Definitive Empfehlung für diese Tour.
