DAY 5 Arnea & Farmhouse experience Today we head to Halkidiki, a three- fingered peninsula which juts out into the Aegean Sea from the Greek mainland. A scenic drive takes us past Koroneia Lake, to the traditional Macedonian village of Arnea. Here, there’s time for a stroll amongst its cobbled streets to admire its stone- built houses and maybe stop for a Greek coffee.
We continue our journey to Platanorema, a beautiful farm stay, where we’ll enjoy a tour of the herb garden, see the farm animals and
learn how tsipouro – a pomace brandy – is produced. The highlight of the day is a Greek cookery lesson in the farmhouse. We’ll learn how to make local specialities including tzatziki and a vegetable pie, which we’ll enjoy for lunch before a beekeeping demonstration.
On arrival in the picturesque port town of Kavala, we’ll check into our hotel, where we’ll stay for the next three nights. HOTEL GALAXY, KAVALA (4-STAR)

DAY 7 Philippi If you choose to join our optional excursion today, you’ll tour the important historical and religious site of Philippi, visited by St Paul during his missionary journeys.
