What an amazing day! Our favorite adventure on this trip! We learned about farming and the area from Nick. We collected eggs and walked the property. Then we made our meal dicing, slicing and grating the vegetables. The meal was cooked in a wood fire oven and stovetop. Delicious! We shared a table and met interesting people, sharing travel stories. Nick and his family were amazing hosts and made us all feel very welcome. Make sure you don’t miss this when you visit Naxos!
