We will stroll around the Historical Center of Kalamata and stop at selected stops where you will taste traditional food and snacks, typical of the region. I have integrated within our tour, expertise and information on valuable nutritional information, gastronomical history facts, interesting knowledge regarding the Mediterranean diet as well as an insight on the food culture of Greece from the ancient times until now. We meet and present ourselves and what we will do and which path we will follow along our food tour. There is little preparation involved and we soon visit our first stop to start the tasting.
