LONDON, 06 December 2017 — From sweet treats to carols in the streets, the Christmas season has finally begun. And Grecotel—Greece's leading luxury hotel collection—presents perfect gifts by launching AgrecoFarms in the UK.

Delving deep into Cretan tradition, AgrecoFarms offers high-quality organic food and body care products. Shaped by hand, every product preserves the delicate balance between man and nature.

AgrecoFarms products originate from Agreco Traditional Farm, a 40-hectare estate in the charming village of Adele, near Rethymno, Crete. The site recreates century-old farming methods, providing an insight into the island's organic production of simple and healthy food.

Founded almost 20 years ago by Nikos Daskalantonakis, Chairman of Grecotel, Agreco Traditional Farm is the only venue of its kind. Here, visitors can also experience the authentic Cretan lifestyle and engage in farming activities. Its fresh produce goes directly to all the hotelier's restaurants, while its organic body care products feature in all Grecotel properties.

In time for Christmas, AgrecoFarms can now be delivered straight to your doorstep, so you can feel the luxury of Grecotel at home.

Products available in the brand new e-shop:
