Truffle hunting
Truffle hunting at Meteora
The Natural History Museum of Meteora and Mushroom Museum, as part of its effort to create alternative tourist activities that showcase our natural wealth, organizes Truffle Hunting tours in the forests of Meteora.
Specially trained truffle dogs, guided by their handler, search for this unique treasure of Greek nature. The spectacle they offer is truly unforgettable, and visitors to the area have the chance to witness it firsthand.
At the same time, participants are informed about this exquisite delicacy, its varieties and uses, gaining a comprehensive understanding of this “diamond” hidden underground.
But the enjoyment doesn’t stop there! It continues with the opportunity to taste the fruits of their efforts right on the spot, with an exceptional truffle pasta dish prepared by skilled chefs in a truly remarkable and impressive cooking vessel—capable of serving up to fifty (!) people at once.
Meanwhile, as the truffle pasta is being prepared, visitors sample 4–5 types of mushrooms and mushroom spoon sweet, all accompanied by a glass of local wine.
After the truffle hunt, visitors return to the Museum. There, they are guided through the Museum’s Zoological section, as well as the one-of-a-kind Mushroom Museum. The visit concludes at the Museum’s shop, where guests can choose from among 70 (!) traditional mushroom and truffle products created by the Museum.
It is, without a doubt, an experience many would love to live. The opportunity is here!… Enjoy!
The activity takes place throughout the year and lasts approximately three hours.
