In a podcast with Mira Karakitsou (A Temple Wild), Maria Christodoulou (The Greek Herbalist) discusses her experiences as a first generation Greek-American, what it was like encountering the Greek landscape for the first time, how she went from a classics major to studying herbalism to now living in Greece and, among many things, leading the way in herbal immersion tours all over the country.

Meet the Greek Herbalist: Greek Herbal Tours with Maria Christodoulou

Join Maria and Mira for Herbal Mythology tours in Greece in 2024

Our first tour takes place in Northern Greece, where Mira has been living for the last 6 years, specifically to Mount Pangaion (which is an area sacred to the god Dionysos) as well as to the picturesque Rodopi Mountains. We’ll be celebrating the Fall Equinox together, with a very special focus on the significance of the harvest in our everyday lives.

The second tour is in Epirus and takes us to the traditional stone villages of Metsovo and Zagori, as well as the ancient Oracle of Dodona. This tour has a special focus on ancient Greek oracular traditions.

Both tours include hiking, hands-on herbal medicine workshops, ceremonies honoring ancient Greek herbal traditions, and more.
