Description
Astarti is a family business engaged in the production, standardization, and marketing of organic and traditional Kytherian products of limited production for which it has also received several international awards.
Within this context, Astarti is also developing in the field of gastronomy by exploiting local production and testing new products that are abundant in the nature of Kythera, in order to integrate them into gastronomic cuisine while at the same time aims at educating and training others on local cuisine, traditional practices, and cooking materials.
Since organic olive oil is the most renowned and prized product of Astarti, the company has been organizing olive oil tastings for the past 10 years. The tastings take place either in the old public school of our community or elsewhere. Visitors have the opportunity to learn in 90 minutes the basic characteristics of a good quality olive oil and to connect with the local history and the aesthetics of a different time.
Astarti provides as well a sophisticated eco-friendly bioclimatic Mediterranean place to escape, the Astarti Hidden Retreats, offering intimate and comfortable living space for our guests in perfect balance with the natural environment and working with the natural elements: earth, air, life, and water.
