Beskrivning

Från lokala kvalitetsprodukter till vykortsköna stränder, västra Kreta har allt. Denna heldagstur visar upp områdets bästa bitar, med vinprovning på Karavitakis Winery, provsmakning av ekologisk olivolja på Biolea Estate och avkoppling på Falassarna-stranden. Vasso, en av våra kunniga lokala guider, säger: "Detta är en av mina favoritutflykter, eftersom det ger en god smak av många aspekter av kretensiska landskap, livsstil och monument. Du får besöka en olivoljafabrik och en vingård som producerar några av de bästa vinerna på Kreta.

Dagen börjar med en guidad rundtur i den familjeägda vingården Karavitakis. Gläd dina smaklökar genom att provsmaka lokalt vin och läckra tilltugg på det toppmoderna besökscentret. Därefter kommer du att tas till Biolea Estate, en familjeägd olivoljafabrik som specialiserar sig på hantverksproduktion av ekologisk olivolja. Ta reda på allt du behöver veta om produktion av olivolja, från hur oliverna odlas till hur oljan pressas och sedan buteljeras. Vad mer är, ditt besök bidrar till ett lokalt företag och hjälper den bredare öns ekonomi.

Därefter väntar lunch på en traditionell kretensisk restaurang vid havet, där maten tillagas på lokalproducerade råvaror. Tillbringa resten av eftermiddagen med att koppla av på den ljusa sanden på Falassarna-stranden, som, enligt Vasso, "har röstats fram som en av de bästa stränderna i Europa flera gånger".

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.

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.

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.
