Private Goat Farm Visit & Cooking Class, Nafplio

Get an authentic look at rural Greek life when you visit a traditional goat farm and make a pie in their farmhouse kitchen.

Overview

Immerse yourself in the rural culture and countryside of the Peloponnese with this private visit to a Greek goat farm. After a pickup in Nafplio, you'll set off on a scenic trip up into the mountains of Argolis, passing a landscape of ancient olive groves, dirt roads, and tiny villages to reach the small farm. Expect a warm welcome from your host, and plenty of time to meet the friendly animals, help out with some chores, and hear about traditional cheesemaking—depending on the season, you may even get the chance to milk a goat. Afterward, you'll head into the farmhouse kitchen to make (and eat) a classic cheese pie.

What you'll do

This five-hour, family-friendly experience begins when your private driver picks you up from your hotel in Nafplio. Sit back and enjoy the views on a short, scenic transfer into the mountainous countryside of Argolis, leaving the sea behind as you pass tiny stone villages and ancient olive groves of the rural Peloponnese. Your destination is one of these traditional villages, where you'll be welcomed with true Greek hospitality (and a refreshment) by the owners of a family-run goat farm.

Follow them around the farm as they introduce you to the friendly animals, teach you how to help with simple farm chores like feeding, and explain the secrets to traditional cheesemaking. In certain seasons, you'll also get the chance to try your hand at milking a goat. Next, step into the farmhouse kitchen, where your host will help you make a classic Greek cheese pie, hand-rolling and shaping the dough and filling it with freshly-made cheese straight from the farm. Chat about rural Greek life while the pie bakes, then enjoy it fresh out of the oven before returning to Nafplio
