Visit a working family orchard where Skopelos's famous prunes and olives are still hand-processed, tasting straight from the source with the growers themselves.
What to expect
You're driven into the island's forested interior to an orchard family that has grown Skopelos's plums for generations. They walk you through the drying and pressing process, then set a table under the trees with plum preserves, local cheese, olive oil, and homemade tsipouro. Conversation runs through an interpreter guide who bridges the language easily.
Good to know
Best in late summer/early autumn during plum harvest; confirm seasonal availability when booking. Transport included from the port.
