DAY 5 (Thursday): Craft and Taste

Stop 1: Cold Process Soapmaking Workshop – Olive Oil, Herbs and Artistry

From golden nectar to green gold – your morning brings you into the world of natural soapmaking, using Lefkadian olive oil and locally

sourced herbs.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create your own soap using the cold process method, a traditional, no-heat technique that

preserves all the nourishing qualities of the ingredients. You’ll be guided through each step, from understanding saponification and safety to

customising your recipe with herbal extracts, clays and dried plants.

Whether you’re drawn to calming lavender, revitalising citrus, or earthy rosemary, your soap will reflect your own unique scent and touch.

And at the end of the session, each pair of participants will take home their own handmade, all-natural soap. Α fragrant, useful souvenir crafted with heart.

 

 

Stop 2: A Passion for Organic Winemaking

You’ll visit a picturesque mountainous village and explore a charming family-run organic winery. Walk among the vineyards, situated on

limestone-rich soils and discover indigenous grape varieties cultivated organically. Learn about meticulous farming practices and visit the

winery’s cellars, blending tradition with contemporary winemaking.
