Meteora: An amazing truffle hunting area in Greece
The area of Meteora is a suitable place for the development of truffle hunting. Wild truffles can be found in the region. It is also an easily accessible place, where a bus can comfortably reach the hunting areas.
Our goal is to mark the region as a truffle hunting area in Greece. The visitor will have the opportunity to experience an alternative activity combined with a visit at the Monasteries and other sightseeing or independently. Truffle hunting can cover most of the day, or even the entire day.

The hunting area is charming, the truffle hunting is amazing and the truffle pasta dish that is cooked with the truffles found is unforgettable! The fact that this proposal is combined with a visit to one of the few Mushroom Museums of the world as well as with the mushroom product tasting, creates an original and unique experience.

THE EXPERIENCE

The Truffle Hunting
The truffle hunter and the truffle-dogs are waiting for you! The moment we meet the truffle hunting begins. We discover the first truffle, the second, the third... The dogs are unstoppable, and we don’t lose them from our sight. After a while, they stop. They have shown us their skills and enjoy the caresses and rewards from us.

The Truffle pasta dish
Chefs take the baton! One or more of the Museum’s chefs start the truffle pasta cooking.
An innovative pan that can fill 50 dishes is used.
They will cook a super delicious truffle pasta dish with some wild mushrooms too. During the cooking process, they reveal the secrets of the truffle.

The Mushroom Tasting
But until the pasta is ready, guests will enjoy tasting between 4-5 different types of mushroom. At the same time, the wine bottles open and, in combination with the truffle pasta that has been served, the tour completes its unprecedented trails of taste.

The Museum

The torch passes to the Museum! A guided tour is provided, with an emphasis on mushrooms and especially on their nutritional and therapeutic value. The event finishes at the museum shop, where visitors have a choice of seventy traditional mushroom and truffle products created by the museum.

The entire program lasts about three hours and could take place at any time of the day.
The normal period for its implementation is from the beginning of March until the end of October. It could also happen in other periods, but with increased financial cost. Contact us and ask us more about this unique program!  Or book online here. For sure one of your highlights in Greece!
