Beschreibung

Kleine, familiengeführte Bauernhöfe sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der mediterranen Ernährung, für die Kreta so bekannt ist. Eine einheimische Familie heißt Sie in ihrem Mitato, einem kleinen Bauernhaus, willkommen, wo Sie mit kretischer Gastfreundschaft empfangen werden. Lauschen Sie dem Bauern, der Ihnen die faszinierende Geschichte von König Minoas erzählt, der von seinem Aussichtsturm aus das Meer beobachtete und die Einheimischen vor ankommenden Piraten warnte. Nach der Begrüßung ist es Zeit für einen praktischen Brotbackkurs, bei dem Sie die Techniken für typisch kretisches Brot aus Weizen- und Gerstenmehl kennenlernen.

Entdecken Sie anschließend die Käseherstellung mit Ziegenmilch aus dem eigenen Betrieb. Als Nächstes ist es an der Zeit, die Ärmel hochzukrempeln und bei der täglichen Arbeit auf dem Bauernhof mitzuhelfen, z.B. beim Füttern der Ziegen, Schweine, Hühner und Kaninchen und bei der Pflege des Gartens. Das Abenteuer geht weiter mit einer Schneckenjagd über den Berghang, exklusiv für National Geographic-Reisende, unter Felsen und zwischen Sträuchern und Blumen. Im Laufe des Tages werden Ihre gesammelten Schätze, darunter Schnecken, Eier, Obst und Gemüse, als Zutaten für das Mittagessen verwendet.

Zusammen mit der einheimischen Familie bereiten Sie ein Festmahl mit lokalen Köstlichkeiten zu, die alle aus den Produkten Ihrer Arbeit hergestellt werden. Lassen Sie den Tag mit einer Kostprobe des kretischen Raki ausklingen und singen Sie die traditionellen "Mantinades" mit - einheimische Lieder, die Gefühle über das tägliche Leben auf Kreta ausdrücken.

Full-day tour of Crete’s historic Knossos Palace and Heraklion

'The Palace of Knossos is one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete because it's where Europe's first civilisation began,' says Veta, one of our guides. A born and bred local, she knows a thing or two about the legends and myths surrounding the island's most popular attraction. You'll spend the day watching history come to life as you tour the grounds of the palace, before crossing over to Heraklion for some free time in the capital.Once the hub of Crete's Minoan civilisation, Knossos Palace sits in the heart of what's considered to be Europe's oldest settlement. You'll enjoy a guided tour around its treasures, stopping by the throne room, royal apartments, frescoes and more. And with fast-track access, there's no waiting around in queues.It's then time to head to Heraklion, the island's capital. See the 17th-century Morozini Lions fountain and the 400-year-old Venetian Loggia – which is still the city hall – during a short guided walk around the city centre. We'll round the day off by taking you to the open markets for some free time. Poke around stalls laden with hand-made trinkets and fresh local produce or stop off for a coffee at a local café for some people watching. Other must-sees include the Koule Fortress and the Church of Agios Titos.

Mountains of Crete 4x4 sunset safari with dinner

Off-road adventures don't get more fun than this. On this evening tour, you'll buckle up for a thrilling ride through the Cretan mountains, taking in villages, landmarks and more. What's more, there'll be a traditional dinner at a local taverna waiting for you. Vaggelis, one of our local expert guides, says 'Lassithi Plateau was said to be the birthplace of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. According to legend, his mother, Rhea, hid the newborn in a cave on the plateau to protect him from being devoured by his father. It's one of the best places in Crete to grab a bird's-eye view of the north'.It all starts the moment you hop aboard your 4x4 and head for the mountains. You'll stop by Aposelemis basin reservoir and ancient Roman aqueducts, before following the path to the village of Kastamonitsa. Here, you'll be greeted with a tipple of fiery raki. Vaggelis says, 'After the grape harvest, the leftover skins, seeds, and stems are fermented and then distilled to produce raki, a tradition that many Cretan families proudly maintain'.You'll continue along the Minoan path, taking in the wildlife and scenery while learning all about local mythology and history. You'll stop for a glass of sweet, sparkling wine and admire Lassithi Plateau, as well as its iconic views. And once you've built up an appetite, you'll head to a local taverna for a traditional Cretan-style dinner with unlimited wine. Finally, as night draws in, you'll head back down the mountain roads, taking in the moonlit coastline and the twinkling lights of towns and villages.

Crete is the cradle of wine history, with its authentic country life and indigenous grape varieties dating far back to the ancient Minoans.

Here we'll tour the facilities and surrounding groves before a Cretan olive oil tasting session. ‘Olive oil has been a Cretan staple since Minoan times. Archeologists have found evidence that the Minoans, the earliest Cretan civilization, used olive oil for rituals, medicine and culinary purposes,' adds Veta. After the tasting, there's a tasty farm fresh lunch to tuck into with traditional local delicacies.Next, we'll pay a visit to family-run Titakis Winery. Its wines have won multiple awards in the past decade, especially the Kotsifali reds. After a tour of the estate and the wine production areas, you'll taste four different wines, accompanied by breadsticks and olives.
