Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Bear Sanctuary & Truffle Foraging
Today will be a full day of exploring and discovering. You will begin the day with a village tour around Nymfaio, to get an idea of its history, architecture and culture. You will then be taken to Arcturos Bear Sanctuary where you will get to see brown bears in a forested enclosure, who were once rescued from poor captive conditions. It is a great experience to see the bears in a natural environment where they will spend their remaining years. Next, you will take part in a truffle foraging experience, where you will get to find the best quality mushrooms and truffles in the country. You will be accompanied by a licensed truffle hunter and his trained dogs, who will take you to a nearby forest that is the best place to locate truffles. Once you have found your truffles, you will then be able to explore the best ways to use them and cook with them by our guide, before finally tasting your creation. After, you will finish the experience with tasting a traditional Greek dessert - spoon sweets. Your day will end with a dinner at the restaurant Thomas. This restaurant is known for its vast array of dishes with a selection of more than 30 cheeses and 520 different wines.
