    We also suggest a stop at the honey farm. Your visit to our farm will offer you Greek hospitality; a cool and refreshing break from the modern village of Olympia and off-the-beaten track into a garden filled with fruit trees and vegetables. Sample the variety of spoon sweets and jams made from the fruit on the farm and preserved by the housekeepers as an age old tradition; recipes which have been passed on from mother to daughter for centuries. Top off your visit with “diples”, a traditional sweet with honey. Mrs Roula, herself, will prepare them before you as she unfolds the dough and the secrets of this mouth-watering dessert. Honey and bee products which have followed man through history have been and are used for nutrition, medicine and cosmetics. Discover how the beehive produces royal jelly, wax and venom. Also, how the bee collects nectar, pollen and propolis.
