Different locations to test the food and drinks. Love the variety. Really enjoyed the family style lunch with the group to be able to test all the local cuisine or favorites. Enjoyed the experience of traditional Greek coffee. Guide was knowledgeable taking us around the area and explaining the foods and drinks and what made them unique. Highly recommend!
