FIG FARMERS > FIGS
In our Fig Orchards we cultivate the two local varieties of figs: Royal and Royal Black.
The microclimate in our area, Markopoulo, creates such conditions that the above varieties of figs thrive exclusively here, so our figs are certified by the EU as Agricultural Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) produce, since 1996.
Figs are not only Delicious but also Nutritious! It has been proved by several studies that there are numerous health benefits and even more if you consume it raw.
