4 Days / 3 nights in Kea with Activities.
Day
1:
We welcome you to Greece, we are glad to meet you in the Airport of Athens, we
transfer you to the port of Lavrio and we give you the boat tickets in order to
travel to Kea.
We have already booked your hotel for you.
You
can learn the production of Seville Orange. (Citrus aurantium) is a tart orange
native to Vietnam and now grown throughout the Mediterranean region.
Marmalade is a sweet preserve with a bitter tang. It is most often eaten on
toasted bread as part of a full English breakfast.
Day 2:
You
can learn the production of Strawberry Preserves.
It takes 3 days to prepare this delicious preserve following an old family
recipe. Serve over yoghurt or ice cream for a very special dessert.
Day
3:
You
can see the production of the St. John’s Wort Oil Spatholado. This ointment is prepared
in small quantities using an ancient method. The
oil is used to heal burns, cuts and surgical scars. It is particularly
effective for deep wounds, injuries caused by crushing, or any kind of trauma
associated with nerve damage. The
name 'spatholado' literally means 'sword oil' and refers to its ability to heal
sword wounds. Its heyday was on the battlefields of the Crusaders. Day
4:
You can participate
in the making of cookies from acorns. Acorns are edible.
Acorns are high in protein, potassium, magnesium, calcium & vitamin B6.
Acorns were the staple food of Californian indigenous tribes and pre-Christian
Greeks.
Acorn flour can be used in place of wheat and corn flour and is higher in
protein and fiber than both.
Large parts of Kea are covered with acorn bearing Oak forests.
Acorn caps - Hamada - are again being used in European tanneries. We export
truck loads every February and March.
Today acorns are eaten in Korea, Turkey & Morocco.
Acorn cookies, bread, soups, muffins & more.
