craftsmen and traditional rural life will be brought alive for you. The first

produced food and wine is prepared for you in a family run tavern in the
beautiful village of Archanes, where you will taste local specialties, soak up
the atmosphere and in time-honored tradition, complete your meal with homemade
Raki – it helps your digestion! Also, after your lunch, you will have the time
