Cosa aspettarsi

Con millenni di esperienza alle spalle, non c'è da stupirsi che gli abitanti di Creta producano alcuni dei migliori oli d'oliva del mondo. Apprezzerai il legame senza tempo tra i cretesi e i loro venerati ulivi mentre ripercorri la lunga tradizione della coltivazione delle olive sull'isola. Appena fuori dal villaggio di Kritsa, sulle colline della parte orientale di Creta, seguirai Nikos Plevritakis in una breve passeggiata fino ai suoi uliveti, dove alcuni alberi hanno 600-800 anni, e imparerai a conoscere la coltivazione dell'olivo da un vero specialista.

All'ombra degli ulivi, potrai assaggiare il raki locale detto anche "tsikoudia" con olive da sgranocchiare mentre discuti del significato culturale e sociale dell'olivicoltura a Creta.

Sarà poi il momento di visitare un frantoio cooperativo locale, per vedere da vicino come le olive vengono trasformate in olio d'oliva di prima qualità. Tornando al Sentiero degli Ulivi, cogli l'occasione per assaggiare fichi freschi, mandorle e uva, vedere cosa coltivano gli abitanti del luogo e scoprire tutto sullo stile di vita e sulla dieta cretese.

Poi, in un'azienda olivicola, potrai assaggiare olive, pomodori freschi e raki prima di iniziare la degustazione dell'olio d'oliva: una bella opportunità per imparare a degustare gli oli come un professionista e confrontare le caratteristiche del sapore delle diverse varietà.

La giornata termina con una lezione di cucina sui vari modi di utilizzare l'olio d'oliva nell'alimentazione cretese. Verranno proposti piatti autentici, come lo tzatziki e l'insalata greca e scoprirai perché la dieta tradizionale cretese è così benefica per la salute e la longevità.

    Schöne Tour mit viel Hintergrundwissen, keine Kaffefahrt, sondern ein wirklich schönes Erlebnis. Guide Rena, eine unglaublich charmante Führerin mit viel Witz und Spaß bei ihrer Arbeit! Niklas beantwortet jede Frage, gibt sein ganzes know How über Olivenplantage,Herstellung des Öl etc. weiter. Absolutes Highlight war die Bewirtung in seinem eigenen Garten. Kulinarisch nicht zu topen und alles Biologisch angebaut, direkt gekocht und gegessen. Wir haben noch nie so gut Griechisch gegessen! Wow ??

    Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Tag. Die Reiseleiterin „Rena“ war einfach Klasse. Sie hat uns mit ihrer herzlichen und auflockernden Art sehr gut über das Leben der Bauern auf Kreta informiert. Wir haben viel über die Oliven gelernt und dabei auch viel Spaß gehabt. Janis hat uns in der Fabrik sehr detailliert die Arbeitsgänge von der Ernte bis zur Herstellung des Olivenöls erklärt. Es war total interessant. Die Verkostung bei Nikos und Maria war sooo herzlich, lehrreich und einfach fantastisch.

This action-packed day brings the essence of Crete to life for all the family. Discover Greek mythology as you explore scenic mountain trails on an off-road adventure leading to the Lassithi plateau. There's a chance to have a go at making ceramics and a visit to the Mythological Park, too. Katerina, one of our expert local guides, enthusiastically says, ‘Lassithi plateau is a personal favourite on this tour. You'll be greeted by the sight of dozens of windmills that dot the landscape. They were built in the 19th century to grind grain, and are now a symbol of the region.'Kick off on a trail which climbs into the mountains to reach the first stop at the Aposelimi dam. From here we'll make our way to a viewpoint where we can see across the Lassithi plateau, a high, fertile plain that legend states was the birthplace of Zeus.Rumbling down to the plateau, we'll head to a ceramics workshop and olive oil producer. It's a fun stop for the kids who will have plenty of time to have a go at making their own pottery creations. Next up is the Mythological park, where you'll find out all about ancient Greek myths - the special lighting and sound effects alongside the audio tour make the park enjoyable for all ages. Round off the day with a late lunch in a taverna, before calling in at the village of Krassi, which is famous for a 2,000-year old plane tree and has a natural spring water source.
