Beskrivning

The rugged mountaintops, sun-kissed plains and rustic villages of Crete are the stars of this 4x4 tour. Go off-road with visits to a winery, an ancient church and an olive oil producer. Katerina, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘A winery owner in Panormos will welcome you before leading a tour and tasting experience. You also find out about Cretan olive oil – another staple of local cuisine. Your hosts will help you unravel the secrets behind why Cretans live longer than the average Greek.'

First up, we'll hop into our 4x4s and head to a family-run winery in Panormos. Enjoy a guided visit and learn about indigenous Cretan grape varieties such as vidiano, vilana and kotsifali. These grapes are well-suited to the island's climate and soil, resulting in unique flavour profiles. After a tasting, we'll rumble through the traditional villages of Dafnedes, Apladiana and Agridia towards Garazo church. This place dates back to the 13th century. Panoramic mountaintop views make it a great place to snap some epic photos.

The rest of the morning is spent driving by sprawling vineyards en route to visit a traditional olive mill. Learn all there is to know about the ancient versus modern harvesting and production of olive oil on the island, and try some for yourself. Finally, you'll experience Cretan hospitality with a meal of tasty local dishes in the village of Melidoni before heading back to Rethymnon.

    Super schöne Landrover Tour. Sebastian holte uns rechtzeitig vom Hotel ab und dann ging es schon in die schöne Bergregion zur Weinverkostung und zu einem Ölproduzenten. Dank seiner guten Deutschkenntnissen haben wir viel über Land und Leute erfahren. Das Mittagsmenü war der krönende Abschluss. Wir können diesen Ausflug nur weiterempfehlen. Danke Sebastian und Team.

    Im Land Rover bei Hitze mit sieben Personen zu eng. Der Fahrer war sehr gut, hat informativ und auch sehr lustig erzählt. Bei allen Anlaufpunkten kamen immer 3-4 Fahrzeuge zusammen, so dass vom Kleingruppe keine Rede mehr sein kann. Die Weinprobe war äußerst lieblos gestaltet. Verkostet wurden drei Weine jeweils in Fingerhutmenge. Information gab es von einem Fahrer abgelesen vom Blatt. Das das Mittagessen in einer Taverne, genauso lieblos. Nur Wasser dabei, alles andere zu bezahlen...

    Das Erlebnis war toll. Sebastian hat uns viel über die Insel erzählt während der fahrt. Die Weinverkostung war etwas mikrig. Wir durften nur 3 Weine probieren und diese waren alle trocken. Auch war 10 Uhr zu früh für das. Die Städchen welche wir besucht haben waren traumhaft. Auch das Essen. Die Olivefabrika war auch weniger toll. Die Tour bei Wein und Oliven wurde von den Fahrer gemacht und es war dort wenig los. Aber die Tour lohnt sich trotzdem sehr!!!!

    Der Tour Guide Sebastian war echt super!!! Die Weinführung und Verkostung war nicht so toll oder interessant oder informativ. Gerne hätte wir noch 1 oder 2 andere Weine verkostet es gab 1x Weißwein, 1x Rosé und 1x Rotwein alle sehr trocken) … aber auch um 10 h zu Beginn der Tour nicht so toll. Alles andere der Tour war mega schön. Das alte und das neue Dorf … die Oliven Führung war interessant und nett verköstigt. Das Mittagessen war sehr lecker. Das Dorf war mit seinen Tavernen gemütlich

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Millenary History of Olive Oil

Approximate itinerary and duration of activitiesIntroduction - 15 minutesWalking tour through the olive trees - 30 minutesPause for questions and raki drink - 15 minutesOlive oil factory tour - 40 minutesOlive oil tasting and questions - 55 minutesCooking demonstration and tastings - 30 minutesPlease note the order of activities may vary at your guide's discretion With millennia of experience behind them, it's no wonder the people of Crete produce some of the finest olive oil in the world. You will appreciate the timeless bond between Cretans and their revered olive trees as you trace the long heritage of olive cultivation on the island. Just outside Kritsa village in the hills of eastern Crete, you'll follow Nikos Plevritakis on a brief walk to his olive groves where some trees are 600-800 years old, and learn about olive cultivation from a true specialist. In the shade of the olive trees, you can try local raki known as ‘tsikoudia' with olives to nibble on while discussing the cultural and societal significance of olive cultivation in Crete. Then it's time to visit a local cooperative factory, to see up close how olives are processed into world-class olive oil. Back on the Olive Path, seize the chance to taste fresh figs, almonds, and grapes, see what the locals are growing, and find out all about the Cretan lifestyle and diet. Then, at an olive farm, you can sample olives, fresh tomatoes, and raki before your olive oil tasting session begins – a great opportunity to learn how to taste oils like a professional and compare the flavor profiles of different varieties. Finish off the day with a cooking lesson on various ways to use olive oil in Cretan cuisine. Authentic dishes, such as tzatziki and Greek salad will feature, and you'll find out why the traditional Cretan diet is so beneficial to health and longevity.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Discover Cretan Farm Life

Nat Geo Day Tour: Discover Cretan Farm Life

Small-scale, family-run farms are integral to the Mediterranean diet that Crete is so famous for. A local family will welcome you to their Mitato, a small farmhouse, where you'll be greeted with the genuine warmth of Cretan hospitality. Listen to the local farmer tell the intriguing tale of King Minoas who watched from his observatory, and alerted locals to incoming pirates. Greetings over, it's time for a hands-on bread-making lesson, learning the techniques for typical Cretan bread, made with wheat and barley flour. Then, witness their cheese-making skills using goat's milk from the farm. Next, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, helping out with daily farm tasks like feeding the goats, pigs, chickens, and rabbits, and tending to the gardens. The adventure continues with a snail hunt over the mountainside, exclusive to National Geographic travellers, peeking under rocks, and among shrubs and flowers. As the day unfolds, your collected treasures, including snails, eggs, fruit, and vegetables, become the ingredients for lunch. Alongside the family, you'll prepare a feast of local delicacies, all made from the products of your day's work. Finish off the experience with a taste of Crete's spirit, Raki, and why not sing along to their traditional Cretan ‘Mantinades,' - traditional Cretan couplets that express sentiments about Cretan daily life.
