Who said that an excursion not that far away from the center of Athens could not be more than just an opportunity to rejuvenate our inner self and charge our batteries? Why not turn this to an opportunity for an alternative shopping spree?!

Trikala of Korinth has so much more to offer than the casual occasion of coming to contact with nature. And certainly there is more to this area other than choosing it for a beautiful, calming winter weekend. Among the things that will make our visit to Trikala of Korinth worthwhile, are the tastes and scents that this enchanting area has “prepared” for us all.  

We will taste the treasures that the Korinthian land harvests and bring back in our suitcase all the walnuts, raisins, chestnuts and almonds we can get. Without forgetting also clams, the special rose liqueur and a variety of delicious home made fruits in sweet syrup. 

We will shop for local honey, pulses and herbs, tea and fragrant oregano and if we are lucky....some of that special “ziriotiri” cheese to match a good wine in the company of good friends.

We will look for the special white cheese “feta” from the area of Ziria and just before our departure we will snatch a sizzling home made pie to keep us pleasantly occupied for the trip back home.

For those of you that there is always room for something more in the luggage...look for the famous Trikala walnut pie.

Bonne appetite...
