Start your day with an experience that combines the tranquility of nature, the gastronomic traditions of Naxos, and an introduction to two of the Cycladic diet’s greatest treasures: honey and extra virgin olive oil, at L’Heritage Korres YASTRA – Ktima Korres.
The experience begins with a short walk through the Estate, where every corner holds memories and stories. Together, we follow the paths and terraces of the olive grove, among trees cultivated here for centuries. You will learn about the edible and oil-producing olive varieties, their distinctive characteristics, organic cultivation and harvesting methods, and the central role of olive oil in the Mediterranean diet and wellbeing.
You will then wear special protective equipment and, together with Manolis — co-owner of the Estate and experienced beekeeper — visit the Estate’s apiary.
Observing the bees at work, you will discover their essential role in the ecosystem: how pollination supports biodiversity, enhances crop sustainability, and directly contributes to the health of vineyards and olive trees, as well as to the high quality of the Estate’s wines and olive oil. You will learn how their presence influences fruit set, plant vitality, and the natural balance of the landscape, creating a living cycle that connects nature and humanity.
The experience continues back at the old farmhouse, where a guided tasting of our estate-produced olive oil and honey takes place — two expressions of the same terroir.
The morning ritual culminates, with the mountainous landscape as a backdrop, in a signature farm-to-table breakfast prepared from the Estate’s produce and selected ingredients from small local producers (such as bread, olive oil, honey, eggs and other seasonal products).
The menu is shaped by seasonality and the availability of fresh ingredients complemented by selected local products, highlighting the character of Naxian gastronomy and ensuring each experience is authentic and handmade.
A morning ritual that connects you with nature and the authentic lifestyle of mountainous Naxos.
