Anydro Tours with Oikonomou Petros and his partners

EXPLORE THE UNIQUE FARMING SCENE OF SANTORINI, TASTE TRADITIONAL WINES AND LEARN HOW TO COOK AS A LOCAL!

Who is Petros Oikonomou?

Fourty years ago, Petros Oikonomou, agronomist and teacher, visited for the first time Santorini and fell in love with the island and its rich farming history. Subsequently, he dropped his career, packed his bags and set as a life goal to revive the production of the Santorini cherry tomato. After many years of collecting seeds and recording the traditional farming and processing ways, he initiated his own organic tomato farm, that resulted to award winning products and the re-establishment of tomato production in the island. Nowadays, Petros continues producing a variety of local signature products while he trains the new generation of local farmers, aiming to diversify the economy of the island.

COOKING WITH PRODUCTS FROM OUR ANYDRO FARM AND SAVORING LOCAL DELICACIES AT ANYDRO FARM

Anydro Farm produces, processes and exports a variety of local organic products, with tomato “caviar” paste being one of the most celebrated Santorinian products among the international food critic society. The farm is a series of traditional caves, located in the virtual undiscovered South East part of the island, accessed by a dirt road, encircled by pumice stone canyons and traditional farmlands. We will hand pick local products from the farm and we will offer you a master class in how to prepare some traditional seasonal dishes.
