The Old Watermill — Attraction in Municipality of Trifylia

The beautiful original watermill is amazingly preserved and maintained by its owners. They also have a charming souvenir shop that sells natural olive oil products, soaps, herbs, and many other goodies.

However, our pockets were ripped! And the food was from mediocre to bad!!

We paid €22.50 for just 2 cappuccinos (€4/each! for single shot) and 2 spinach pies (€6.50!!/each!!!) which were baked for sure the day before and were very badly reheated possibly in a microwave, the pie crust was soggy, and the filling was mushy, semi cold and with a bad quality cheese in it. Plus, I believe it had not reached the appropriate reheating temperature to be safe for consuming ( I am a chef, and I well know the health and safety rules for professional kitchens). And I must mention, the €4.00/cappuccino coffee was so tasteless and cheap that it reminded me of a hospital machine coffee sellers.

To be clear: my complaint is NOT about the prices but for the BAD QUALITY! If quality was right and aligned with the price, I would have given 6 out of 5 stars ✨

Utterly disappointing because I loved the space and garden, but I refuse to become so...

We had a lovely afternoon at the old water mill . We where given a tour of the working mill by the staff. It was really interesting. Here are some of the facts we found out. The old water mill was built and operated before 1850. It is the 10th watermill of a series of mills that operated with the same water. Gradually the mills were abandoned , except the "Old watermill", that worked until 1974 In the past, access to the area was difficult and was only by horse. For this reason, the watermill was chosen as the headquarters of the resistance against the occupation 1941-1944 and EAM rebels after liberation. The gardens where kept beautifully making them a restful calming place to sit and relax and escape the hot afternoon sun. We had some traditional homemade food with a refreshing glass of lemonade made fresh by the staff. Well worth a visit a little on the pricey side but it truly...

Just 1 minute drive from the old Kyparissia Castle, it is worth visiting while you are there. Every single product this local shop has is made by the whole grain flour that is ground in front of your eyes! The old watermill is physically powered by the waterfall and you can see it there happening, as the hostess is showing you how it operates. The place is decorated with historically accurate files that help you understand the history of this special watermill. Then you go upstairs and you can sit relaxed and hear the water flow at the little tables outside their 1st floor veranda and taste the local products made by the locals, or buy stuff by the little shop there. Everything has normal to cheap prices (food, drinks, brunch, alcoholic local products, herbs etc). The best local...
