Welcome to mama’s flavours! Let’s get acquainted!
We are Maria, Giannis, Polyanna, Robert, Lefteris and Mina, a team of six people with a passion for Greek gastronomy and Greek tradition. And it was this same passion that led to the creation of mama's flavours!

How the journey began...
Back in 2014, while watching a TV show about how local products were made in a remote Greek village in northern Greece, I, Maria, started to wonder, "How can one promote the rich gastronomy and unique hospitality of Greece?"
The answer was simple: through our best ambassadors, of course, the Greek women of the countryside! With this extremely beautiful thought in mind, I came up with the idea of Hippolyte-mama's flavours!
Although I had no money to get started, I didn’t want to wait to make my dream come true. Against all odds, I dared and created a strong team, armed with great optimism and stubborn perseverance, one step at a time. In 2018, we formed a Social Enterprise called Hippolyte-mama's flavours!
What our name stands for...
Why Hippolyte? In classical Greek mythology, Hippolyte was the Amazonian queen who possessed a magical belt that signified her authority as queen of the Amazons. For us, Hippolyte is a symbol of primordial power and a source of creation, expressed through Greek women, who are the guardians of the Greek tradition!
Why mama's flavours? Because there is nothing better than our mum's authentic flavours!
What we do...
Using the Greek mother as our centrepiece, we worked with local women producers and entrepreneurs to create unique gastronomic tours, starting from the beautiful region of Messinia!
Whether from Greece or abroad, our guests are able to experience the unique Greek hospitality through selected gastronomic excursions and agrotouristic activities tailored to their needs, all designed by the Hippolyte-mama's flavours team.
For our next step, we are thinking of combining these wonderful activities with products made by women producers, which will be sold through our dedicated e-shop.
What the activities include...
- Visits to women's cooperatives and small producers
- harvesting of fruits and vegetables from local fields and gardens
- cooking classes
- visits to olive groves, wineries, dairy farms and beekeepers
- tours of small Greek villages
- tasting local handmade products made by locals,
....these are just some of the wonderful things we will do, along with Greek mums!
