  • Avrete modo di capire molto bene i racconti della mitologia greca locale su Zeus, il dio del cielo.

  • La vostra guida locale è un'esperta di queste montagne e vi parlerà della storia e della topografia.
Cosa aspettarsi

Preparatevi a un'avventura in 4x4 che vi porterà fuori dai sentieri battuti. Esplorate gli angoli rurali di Creta e immergetevi nella natura mentre attraversate le montagne su piste sterrate. Scoprite il cuore di Creta, la sua ricca mitologia, la sua flora e fauna e l'affascinante vita locale. Katerina, una delle nostre esperte guide locali, dice: "Le cime accartocciate delle montagne di Creta risuonano di storie della mitologia greca: Zeus, il dio greco responsabile dei tuoni e dei fulmini, nacque in una grotta sulle montagne di Creta, e fu qui che Teseo uccise il minotauro".

Inizieremo con un percorso in auto lungo sentieri panoramici e uliveti, passando davanti ad antiche reliquie mentre ci inerpichiamo attraverso le colline di Creta. Faremo poi scalo in un piccolo villaggio dove potrete degustare raki e olio d'oliva con la gente del posto. L'olio d'oliva cretese è apprezzato per la sua purezza e il suo sapore, oltre che per l'alto contenuto di polifenoli e la bassa acidità, che lo rendono molto salutare.

Da qui inizia la vera avventura in fuoristrada: ci addentriamo nelle montagne e seguiamo un antico sentiero utilizzato dai pastori per raggiungere le greggi nei pascoli estivi. Nelle capanne dei pastori, il latte fresco di capra viene utilizzato per produrre un gustoso formaggio fatto in casa. Poi, ci recheremo in una taverna a conduzione familiare per un pranzo tipico locale - è disponibile anche un'opzione vegetariana - con vino illimitato. Scoprirete un altro lato di Creta grazie ad autisti professionali e informati che vi racconteranno tutto sulla loro isola, dalla vita locale alla storia, dalla fauna alla cucina.

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

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.

Crete food and wine tasting with wine factory visit

Crete is the cradle of wine history, with its authentic country life and indigenous grape varieties dating far back to the ancient Minoans. Veta, one of our local guides, says ‘What I like most about showing visitors around on this tour is that they meet the local producers and farmers and hear their stories.' Over the course of the day, you'll taste locally produced olive oil, enjoy a typical Cretan lunch, and sip on regional whites and reds at an award-winning winery.We'll begin our culinary adventure at the Kriti Allios olive oil producer, set among olive groves to the south of Heraklion. Here we'll tour the facilities and surrounding groves before a Cretan olive oil tasting session. ‘Olive oil has been a Cretan staple since Minoan times. Archeologists have found evidence that the Minoans, the earliest Cretan civilization, used olive oil for rituals, medicine and culinary purposes,' adds Veta. After the tasting, there's a tasty farm fresh lunch to tuck into with traditional local delicacies.Next, we'll pay a visit to family-run Titakis Winery. Its wines have won multiple awards in the past decade, especially the Kotsifali reds.
