    Enjoy a gentle walk through the tiny streets, meeting locals, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, and gathering fresh ingredients along the way—just as villagers have always done. A visit to a traditional cheesemaker offers a glimpse into age-old techniques still used to produce local cheese and yoghurt. Watch the process, ask questions, and gain an appreciation for the craftsmanship behind these everyday staples.
