Höjdpunkter
  • Njut av solen på den rosa sanden på Elafonissi-stranden, en av Kretas bästa stränder

  • Se imponerande stalaktiter och stalagmiter i Agia Sophia-grottan

Beskrivning

Den obebodda ön Elafonissi på sydvästra Kreta är en mix av naturlig skönhet och kulturella rikedomar. Topolia-ravinen, Agia Sophia-grottan, Chryssoskalitissa-klostret och en strand som många anser vara den bästa på ön är bland höjdpunkterna på denna heldagstur. Rena, en av våra lokalguider, säger "Den här utflykten kombinerar det bästa av det kretensiska höglandet med den idylliska rosa sandstranden Elafonissi på sydkusten".

Det är en avslappnad start på dagen, med ett stopp för kaffe på en familjeägd taverna i byn Voulgaro. Härifrån väntar en häpnadsväckande bilresa söderut genom Topolia-ravinen. Utsikten över den djupa ravinen till vänster är episk. Vi besöker sedan grottan Agia Sophia, som är känd för sina stalaktiter. Den har gett upphov till en mängd olika legender, som till exempel att hovavtrycket av St Georges häst kan ses här. Om du letar tillräckligt noga hittar du vad som ser ut som ett hästskoavtryck i en sten.

Nästa stopp är Chryssoskalitissa-klostret. På en kulle med utsikt över kusten, bjuder detta tusen år gamla kloster på en tidlös charm. Namnet betyder "gyllene steg" och är genomsyrat av myter. Enligt vissa är ett av stegen gyllene – men bara synligt för de religiösa. Sista anhalten på dagen är vacker som ett vykort. Guiden Rena säger: 'Du kan nå Elafonissi-udden genom att gå genom en grund vattensträcka från Elafonissi-stranden.' Tillbringa eftermiddagen med att bada, koppla av och njuta av den fantastiska utsikten, innan vi avslutar dagen i fiskebyn Paleochora.

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.

It was built during the Venetian period and boasts an impressive array of frescoes and religious artefacts. The monastery is an oasis of tranquillity, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards.'After exploring the monastery, you'll head up to the Hill of Prophet Elias, also known as Profitis Ilias, to soak up the insta-worthy views here.
