OUR DAY ON A GRECIAN FARM

Porto Heli Greece.

Farm Tools.

Having already visited many famous and touristic locations this summer, in September we headed down to the east coast of Greece' Peloponnese near Porto Heli and had a chance to visit a cozy Greek family owned farm.

This place was every boho style lover dream. The super cute family showed us around, let us feed cows, chickens, ducks, sheeps and many more. I had no idea goats and sheeps would be so friendly and cuddle lovers :)

Karolina even rode a horse, after it calmed down from the excitement of us being around and giving food!

Meanwhile, the cute grandma was cooking a delicious breakfast that looked more like a Christmas lunch from the portions! Yes, Greek people love abundance when it comes tofood, and let’s just say that I’m not the kind of guy who complaints about that eheh! Freshly made omelettes, spinach pies, home made bread that tasted like heaven and butter with marmalade.

The thing I enjoyed the most was definitely the genuine pleasure of the family hosting us. After helping out, eating family style, cuddling kittens everywhere and watching all the photos of their young son, in less than a day they really made us feel part of their family.
