Olive utopia

5.00Julia & Douk were amazing hosts, very knowledgeable. The olive selection in the market was next level, we tried olives we didn’t even know existed. Spice shop was an eye opener I had no idea the Greek people used so many. Honey shop was well worth a visit and we returned to purchase the pistachio cream, which was out of this world. The tour ended with a sample of Greek food which we will be recreating at home. Definitely worth the money.
Food tour with Julia is a must!
