EVENT DESCRIPTION:
It’s the cherry-picking season in Tannourine village. Join us and get the chance to share special moments and delight in exceptional activities in nature.
We will start our day by exploring the land and picking cherries; nothing is better than a sweet red cherry right off the tree. Of course, you will be provided materials for work (participants can bring with them gloves if they prefer).
Then we will make a visit to Tannourine village where we can get the opportunity to visit St Challita Old Crusade Church that ages more than 1000 years. Later a tour in Balaa: it’s an easy walk down to reach a platform. There, we will see the waterfall of Balaa into the Baatara Pothole “The cave” also known as the “Cave of the Three Bridges“, the three natural bridges rising one above the other, and take a lot of unforgettable pictures.
Our lunch will be nearby with the villagers in a small Snack, we will sit together, share and watch the beauty of our nature and you can also have your own picnic.
Those who would be interested to buy cherries, will benefit from a discount.
