– Explore Church Fortresses builded since 1200 – Acknowledge how life goes by in villages untouched by time & meet local craftsmen
– Feel the energy of people that are keeping their traditions in working the field, helped by horses plowing the land, and the people spreading the seeds with bare hands, harvesting the golden fields of wheat and almost taste the sweetness of the grapes in their hands

– Drink organic fresh milk
……and many others!
