What makes this experience unique is the emphasis on family and tradition. Fishing has been a part of Greek culture for thousands of years, and the activity is often passed down from generation to generation. By participating in this activity, you'll get a glimpse into the importance of family and community in Greek culture, and you'll create lasting memories that you'll cherish for years to come.
