I couldn't get the pdf to translate into English :((

If you right click on any other category , it should give a translate into English option? At least I hope it does!

Thanks for this nelson20vt. As my parents were born in Greece, I have a keen interest in this post yet I only have one possibly Greek variety. :( Anyone in Australia that can ease my pain, please drop me a line.

Amazing.

My father is from a place called Lambokambos, in the Lakonia region, Peloponnese Greece. Anyone else from around there at all?

When I went to visit my Yaya (grandmother), among all the amazing figs in the area, she had one tree that had the best figs I've ever tasted--by far. The inside was unbelievably sweet, yet tangy, fruity and still figgy. It was so rich that it was almost like fig jelly. Of course these were Smirna, or pollinated figs I'm sure.

Here's a photo we took. Some of them were splitting like this.

I took back some of the seeds (unfortunately this is back when I didn't know any better, and should have taken a cutting!) and I got a few to sprout! I have a small tree in a pot.. A few years old. I know the odds are pretty much 0 that they will not need to be pollinated and that they will be like the parent, but oh well, still sentimental. Plus, a friend of mine gave me a caprifig, so someday I will have fun experimenting. : )

The one in your pdf that it looks like the most is the one called Markopoulos, but I wonder.

Good day to you all.

My father-n-law is from Vourvoura near Sparta. Lovely village and countryside.

Nice! Looks beautiful.

Here's the distance between the two:

Hello Fig Lovers,

Just wanted to correct something for you guys in the Greek Varieties that were posted above with Kostelenos photos.  The translation for the Royal Bee is actually called the Royal Honey fig the Livanos is called Livano and the Markopoulos is called Markopoulou which is a place in Greece.  The Royal Honey fig is the same with the Royal White.  Nice photos and very happy to see your interest in the Greek fig varieties. 

Now this is making water in my mouth, because these figs are looking great. I like this great information about the veriety of figs because I never know all this information before. Thanks for sharing
