ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

Embark on an enchanting journey to the picturesque destination of Arkadia, starting with the historic mountain village of Karytaina. Nestled 54 km from Tripoli, 20 km from Megalopolis, and 17 km from Stemnitsa, Karytaina captivates visitors with its medieval charm. The village, standing at an altitude of 550 meters, is renowned for its traditional houses, castle, and Byzantine-style churches, earning it recognition as a traditional settlement.

One of the top attractions in Karytaina is the historic 50-meter-long stone bridge, adorned with a small Byzantine church dedicated to the Birth of the Virgin. The backdrop of the Moria castle adds to the village’s allure. The historical, cultural, and economic significance of Karytaina is exemplified by its depiction on the five-thousand drachma banknote.

Continue your journey to the certified multifunctional farm, Arcadiani, located in the charming village of Psari, near Tripoli. With sweeping views of Mt Lykaeo and Karytaena, Arcadiani offers a breathtaking setting. Immerse yourself in the farm’s rich offerings, starting with “Grandma’s Treats” restaurant. Indulge in homemade dishes crafted from pure ingredients harvested from Arcadiani’s fields and vegetable garden.

The farm produces a variety of pure products based on traditional recipes, such as spoon sweets, kourabie, skaltsounia, dried figs with walnuts, and more. Explore the library housing rare 19th-century cookbooks and a museum exhibition space showcasing utensils and kitchen tools from 1900. Arcadiani also boasts an outdoor theater for cultural events and art exhibitions.

Join environmental tours to get closer to nature and immerse yourself in traditional farming practices. The captivating tour of Arcadiani Farm begins with a stroll through orchards, a vegetable garden, and traditional wood ovens. Gain insights into seasonal ingredients used in the workshop and restaurant. Explore the library’s specially designed area with rare cookbooks and relevant documents. Indulge in a tasting of handmade liqueurs at the specially designed area in the deer farm and visit the model sheep unit for a guided tour, participating in feeding and savoring cheeses made from fresh sheep’s milk.

Complete your Arcadiani experience by treating yourself to traditional handmade pastries at the farm’s restaurant, where each bite is a delightful pleasure. Visitors can also relish traditional Mediterranean cuisine at Karytaina’s restaurant, offering exceptional views. After the culinary indulgence, take a leisurely afternoon tour of the village to appreciate its traditional touches.
