Gourmet Tour - Mykonian Unique Flavors

OVERVIEW

Savor a traditional lunch at a family-owned farmstead where everything for your meal is grown in the garden and produced on the premises. As you travel inland to this heritage farm, you will pass through a beautiful and fruitful landscape. With each mile, it will seem as if you are going further back in time, to a period when farming was done by hand and everything was grown organically. Such is the setting of the Rizes Folklore Farmstead, where the Zouganeli family farms the land using age-old methods. Chances are, the aromas of fresh-baked bread will be wafting through the air, piquing your senses for the classic Mykonian meal to follow. The menu usually includes delicious mezes and meat pies made from recipes handed down over the generations. You may also be offered local ouzo, wine or tsipouro, a grape-distilled spirit flavored with anise.
