Women's Cooperative of Parakila
In 2001, 11 young women, with a respect of the past and tradition, formed the coop to give women in the small village an outlet to be creative in the kitchen while trying to financially empower themselves. They created traditional Greek “sweets of the spoon” from local fruits, herbs, spices and expanded over the years to create a wonderful array of local tastes. They have also started to give workshops to tourists as well as any locals who want to learn more about traditional Greek cooking.
