Nestled in the heart of Arcadia, not far from Tripoli in the Peloponnese, Arcadiani is a multifunctional agrotourism destination of European standards, certified by the Greek Ministry of Rural Development and Food. At this certified Arcadian farm, an artisanal workshop produces preservative-free delicacies using locally sourced ingredients.
The selection includes traditional pasta, spoon sweets made from fresh fruit, dried figs with walnuts, handmade cookies and trahanas, herbal teas and infusions, and over 50 unique all-natural products from the Arcadian land.
Arcadiani is committed to preserving Greece’s intangible cultural heritage through collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, bringing traditional recipes and village life back into the spotlight. The farm holds a rare certification from the Ministry of Rural Development, awarded to only six farms in all of Greece.
Step into the lush vegetable gardens and breathe in the scents of nature. Together, you stroll among seasonal vegetables and aromatic herbs, handpicking the freshest ingredients and learning how real food is grown and harvested.
Get to know the land and then roll up your sleeves to prepare a traditional Greek Ratatouille (Briam) — an oven-baked medley of the very vegetables you’ve just gathered. Classic accompaniments include a village-style salad and handmade tzatziki with creamy yogurt, garlic, cucumber, and fresh-picked dill.
