Rhodian Rhythms: A Gastronomic Odyssey in Apollona (Shared)

Having grown up immersed in nature, thanks to parents who are both geologists, it’s no surprise that this guide’s passion and career revolve around the natural environment and heritage. A love for the outdoors was a constant companion throughout studies in Psychology, and for the past 18 years, the focus has been on tourism across Greece.

Here on the enchanting island of Rhodes, a variety of immersive food tour and cooking experiences await — from gastronomic tours and sea kayaking trips to hikes along majestic mountains and picturesque coastlines.

Shared Cooking Experience

• Apollona Village Cooking: Join a small shared group to cook traditional Rhodian village recipes in the authentic Apollona setting — learning the real food culture of Rhodes beyond the coastal tourist trail

• Shared Village Feast: Sit down to the meal you’ve prepared together in the beautiful Apollona village setting — a convivial shared table celebrating genuine Rhodian hospitality
