Today's activities of the Marathon Ecofestival cancelled

Due to inclement weather today' s activities of the ecofestival will be cancelled.
Please consult the Marathon ecofestival blog during the rest of the week for other possible changes.

Today's visit to the Rouggeris farm gets postponed for May 1st at 11:00 and it may be combined with the bike tour that was scheduled for the same time.

In the context of the 1st Marathon Ecofestival we have arranged three visits to organic farms in the Marathon area during which, their owners will welcome visitors and will guide them through a tour of the crops.

These activities will provide farmers with the opportunity to explain to participants their methods of farming, their philosophy, their relationship with Marathon and local conditions, the difficulties they face and why according to them their effort is worthwhile. Visitors will thus have the chance to meet firsthand the people that are involved in organic farming through an exploration of the region and acquire knowledge as to where their food comes from!
