Local Produce

Sometimes it’s difficult for visitors to Greece to choose what to buy when they can’t taste something first. It might also be difficult to find small enough quantities of some products.

Everybody’s tastes are different but we have our own favourites and we are happy to offer our guests a chance to first taste and then to buy from us whatever quantity they want at the prices that we pay.

Dry White Wines

We very much enjoy white wine from two local wineries and we buy them in boxes where they keep fresh. Both are made from Greek grape varieties, both are very clean with hardly any chemicals, and both cost just 2 Euros a litre. They have very different flavours.

The Anastasia Fragou winery in Rafina produces white wine from Savatiano grapes. The white wine from the Marathonia Yi winery in Marathon is made from a mix of Malagouzia and Asyrtiko grapes.

We also enjoy and buy boxes of a white wine that’s produced in central Greece from Muscat grapes. It’s unusual to find dry Muscat wines because those grapes are usually used to produce sweet dessert wines. We know less about its production but it also seems to be very clean and it also costs just 2 Euros a litre.

That’s three different flavours to choose from - or to reject!

Dry Red Wine

The Rafina winery also produces a very nice red wine. Again it costs just 2 Euros a litre.

Olive oil

It’s not easy to find small bottles of olive oil that would be enough for a holiday. We can recommend an extra virgin oil that’s produced using the koroneiki variety of olives from the southern Peloponnese. Our guests are welcome to buy from us as much as they like at 9 Euros a litre.

Honey

We buy honey that’s made in the pine forests on the mountains near Delphi. It’s a lovely colour and consistency, it’s not too sweet, and it costs just 7 Euros a kilo.

Feta Cheese

Our butcher brings a mild and creamy Feta cheese from the north of Greece and he’s happy to give our guests a taste before they buy, price around 11 Euros a kilo. We don’t remember any of our guests deciding that it wasn’t for them – very popular!

Please just ask us If you would like to taste any of these products.

If they’re not to your taste then there’s nothing lost!
