Gids voor de Griekse cultuur: danslessen en wandelen in Kefalonia.

Maria is incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and thoughtful. Hiking through, and learning about Old Farsa was otherworldly. It’s one of the travel treasures you’ll always cherish so get off the beaten path and track Maria down!! Maria and her ancestors have danced these Greek folk dances for centuries and she takes you to “THE spot” they would dance them for centuries and teaches them to you. That’s very special. The view is amazing and the energy is palpable. My daughter is a dance major and has an interest in folk dance so it was definitely the highlight of her trip. Even if you don’t dance or aren’t even that interested in folk dance, what you will learn and experience in this tour will open you up to another world and you will leave a better person. It is a fairly intense hike up to Old Farsa(there won’t be others around I can almost promise you:). I wore flip flop sandals and a long skirt. I made it but would have been more comfortable in shorts and trainers. The tour ended at her families lovely restaurant with a little snack and taste of local wine. I hope to keep in touch with Maria, she’s a great teacher and lovely soul.

I have always loved to dance and the Greek dance master class was the best present for my birthday organized by my boyfriend! An experienced Greek dance teacher, Maria not only perfectly explains all the dance moves, she is erudite and interesting. Maria prepared for us a tour and a story about the historical places of Kafelonia, which from the first minutes relaxed us and set us up for friendly communication. My boyfriend learned to dance for the first time in his life and I am happy that it was Greek dances, because we danced holding hands all together and it was a kind of support when performing quite difficult movements. A beautiful location on the seashore to the sounds of Greek music created a special atmosphere for learning Greek dance. With Maria, we learned three Greek dances, one of which was a Kefelon dance and counted as many as 12 different steps. We enjoyed the lesson in a friendly atmosphere, personally, I haven't laughed as much as at this moment in such a long time. I am very happy that we found not only a fantastic Greek dance teacher, but also a true friend in Kafelonia. We recommend everyone who has never danced before or has dance experience to try at least one private Greek dance lesson with Maria and you will fall in love with Greece forever! Greek dances are dances that awaken joy, laughter, energy and love in the heart! Viktoriia
