I don't know how to say how happy I was at the farm. Katerina, Kostis and Lula are the best people to have around. And all the animals are so friendly, too! Also the food is amazing and so are the surroundings! The sea, the hills and Olive trees! I will never forget the time I spent there!
Thank you very much for everything! !!
