Short Herb Walk

Offered Saturdays. Flora is at its best from February until the end of July, it’s the green season. By July many of the herbs and plants are brown to various shades of gold, but other medicines come into their time. In Kalymnos, the land of Apollo, medicinal plants grow year round. The heat is extreme and usually there we do not see rain from May until September. Crocus here bloom in November…

1 Hour Herb walks begin at 5:30 pm (17:30). We meet up at Naturally Kalymnos in Pothia. Beginning with a cold or hot Herbal Tea (depending on the Season) we will have an overlook of where we will go for this particular walk. We'll see a slideshow of the previous herbs that have already come and gone for the season or the herbs yet to appear for the year, then off we go to visit an area, where depends on what can be found on this particular walk You'll have a greater understanding of the diverse and abundant herbal life of Kalymnos and the opportunity to learn how to gather herbs to insure future growth and abundance.  

You’ll want to bring your camera to photograph, video. A hat and sunglasses, as the sun can be very strong, water to stay hydrated and a snack is you wish.  

We will provide a collection bag for the herbs you will learn to collect, pruning shears to make clean cuts and we will show you where and how to cut. This insures future growth and multiplication of the herbs into 2 branches where ever you cut.

On longer walks you have ample opportunity to collect the herbs that you wish to gather for your winter stash of teas and culinary herbs or to gift to your loved ones back home. We also include a picnic on 4 Hr Walks
