Beskrivning

Det UNESCO-listade palatset i Knossos, som anses vara vaggan för Europas första civilisation, är en av de viktigaste fornlämningarna på Kreta. Låt en expert väcka historien till liv när du utforskar öns mest uppskattade arkeologiska pärla. Denna resa inkluderar också ledig tid i semesterorterna i Rethymnon, plus en rundtur i Kretas huvudstad Heraklion. Andreas, en av våra kunniga lokalguider, säger: ”Minoerna var mycket avancerade och palatset i Knossos visar upp arkitektoniska tekniker som flervåningshus och ett sofistikerat dräneringssystem som var före sin tid.

Du börjar dagen i Rethymnons labyrint av färgglada gator, där du kan strosa runt i butikerna, hitta ett litet kafé eller ta dig ner till hamnen. Rethymnons hamn, som slingrar sig runt den lilla bukten, är lika vacker som den är gammal. Utsikten över Fortezza från den venetianska eran och ut över havet är en fröjd för ögat. Nästa stad på tur är Kretas huvudstad Heraklion. Här får du en guidad rundtur i stadens bästa delar, till exempel den venetianska lejonfontänen och loggian. Det finns också lite ledig tid att utforska i din egen takt.

Sist, men inte minst, är dagens sista stopp ett guidat besök i Knossospalatset. Beundra skatter som tronsalen, de kungliga lägenheterna och de fantastiska freskerna. Särskilt imponerande är de antika freskerna som föreställer scener från vardagslivet, religiösa ritualer och mytiska varelser. Du får också uppleva labyrinten, där legenden säger att den skräckinjagande varelsen Minotaurus, till hälften man och till hälften tjur, lurade.

    Det var en meget lang tur. Vi kunne godt have brugt mere til i Rethymnon og undværet turen ti Hieraklion. Den kunne have været en tur for sig selv.

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.
