O que esperar

Este safári ao pôr do sol leva você para fora dos caminhos mais conhecidos de mais de uma maneira. Você seguirá trilhas cênicas em seu off-roader para explorar paisagens escondidas que poucos visitantes veem. Prepare-se para vistas panorâmicas de Rethymnon enquanto atravessa vilas tradicionais no caminho para o reservatório da Represa Amari. Eleni, uma de nossas guias locais especialistas, diz: "Longe da costa, as tradições cretenses ainda são fortes, e muitas pessoas ganham a vida com a terra. Oliveiras, campos de videiras e pomares de frutas cítricas representam as culturas mais importantes - embora os abacates estejam se tornando uma fruta popular em nossas fazendas."

Saindo de Rethymnon, você logo estará indo em direção às colinas. Passando pelas tranquilas vilas nas colinas de Pigi, Adelle, Saint Dimitrios e Harkia, trocamos as luzes brilhantes por rotas off-road não pavimentadas, vegetação selvagem e vistas pacíficas. Você terá uma visão de perto da verdadeira Creta e obterá insights sobre a herança da ilha. Eleni diz: "Creta é uma das poucas ilhas na Grécia que ainda teria uma economia autossuficiente sem o turismo. A agricultura ainda é uma indústria muito relevante aqui."

Você subirá mais para as colinas até um mirante fabuloso, onde seu olhar irá varrer da costa para as montanhas, com uma vista adorável sobre o reservatório da Represa Amari logo abaixo. Os pontos de pôr do sol não são muito melhores do que este. Para encerrar seu passeio, você fará uma parada em uma taverna familiar, onde poderá experimentar um prato de especialidades de meze cretenses de origem local com uma taça de vinho.

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.

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.

Finish off the day with a cooking lesson on various ways to use olive oil in Cretan cuisine.

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.
