For our latest excursion we drove to the village of Koumeika, to make a tour in the olive oil factory of the Markou family. During this tour you will hear all about the special olive pressing technique the family uses and the different olives that are being pressed for the extra virgin olive oil the factory makes. After the tour we got to taste a wide range of different oils and then we drove to Ormos Marathokambos for lunch. A nice idea for a (half) day trip from Pythagorio!

Good Friday is a mournful day that commemorates the Passion of Christ in all of Greece. From the early morning hours in all the Greek churches, the Epitaph, decorated with flowers, is ready to receive the body of Jesus. The icon of Christ is taken off the cross in churches and is then wrapped in linen and placed in a great casket covered in flowers symbolizing the tomb of Christ. People gather at the graves of their loved ones on the cemetery to honor the dead. At the end of

No talk, just drive! Enjoy the #Samos landscapes and the villages we pass on our roadtrip in the winter sun. To be honest, our roadtrip started off as a hunt for some snow on the mountains.

The view from the road between #Spatharei and #Pagondas towards the snow-capped Kerkis mount
