As a young newlywed couple in 1953, Giannis and Flora had only their love for each other and for Mother Earth as equipment for their future life. With water lacking on their farm, they started digging a well — but after 15 meters it became impossible to continue, leaving only what is known in Greece as a “dry well” (xeropigado).
The rest of the story you will learn on-site while being treated to a glass of fine organic wine, accompanied by homegrown fresh tomatoes and cheese! Narlis Farm is a 100% traditional Sifnos farm, filled with vegetables, herbs, trees, and fruit of old varieties, yielding their unique flavors in traditionally cooked dishes.
