Events, Happenings. Εκδηλώσεις.

The guest at Kinsterna Hotel is never bored. There is always something happening, some activity or event taking place for the guest. And one can always enjoy a walk on the surrounding beautiful hills, on paths which have been mapped, and enjoy the beautiful countryside. After the olive oil was extracted, we had to taste it. So bread was made at the wood oven and a BBQ party was started at the the spit next to the oven, and drinks were needed as well, so the distillery was used to extract some (rather strong) "tsipouro", a traditional home made juice from grapes, and everyone had a great time.
Οι επισκέπτες του ξενοδοχείου Κινστέρνα στην Μονεμβασιά, δεν βαρυούνται ποτε. Όλο και κάτι γίνεται που σου κρατά το ενδιαφέρον. Και μπορεί βέβαια κάποιος να απολαύση μια βόλτα στους λόφους γύρω από το ξενοδοχείο, σε μονοπάτια που έχουν σημαδευτεί και χαρτογραφηθεί και ν΄απολάυση την όμορφη φύση. Όσο γινότανε η διαδικασία της παραγωγής του λαδιού, το ψωμί ήταν στον φούρνο για να δοκιμάσωμε το λάδι και η ψησταριά δούλευε για τα ετοιμαστούν τα υπόλοιπα μεζεδάκια. Και έβγαινε και το τσίπουρο στο καζάνι για να μας ανοίξει την όρεξη.
 Herbs and spices from local plants, used to give tsipouro its unique taste.
Μυρωδικά και βότανα που χρησιμοποιούνται για να δώσουνε στο τσίπουρο την μοναδική του γεύση.

Now this looks fun. Wondered what the spices were, looked like coriander, pepper corns and perhaps juniper berries.I must be like a brandy.The breads look real good, I buy from a bakery that cooks like this whenever I am near.

Nellie from Beyond My Garden said...

You have inspired me to feed my starter and gather wood for the brick oven.

Costas, your images are splendid. I can nearly smell that fresh baked bread. Love crusty bread anyway, and especially when it has anything to do with olive oil, makes such a difference. Sounds like a delightful BBQ~

Έγραψες Κωστή.
Σήμερα ζωγράφισες ανάρτηση!!!
Την λήψη στο εσωτερικό του φούρνου θα την έλεγα ιερή.
Την σταγόνα του τσίπουρου επίσης.
Εύγε!
