Truffle hunt near Meteori - We did a truffle hunt with a tour group of about 15 people. It was such a fun experience. The guides were so friendly and the dog was so cute. He found several truffles during our tour. We also had a very nice pasta and mushroom lunch with the truffles that were found, which they made in front of us. Highly recommend this experience.
