Det kan du forvente

Den ubeboede ø Elafonisi i det sydvestlige Kreta er fyldt med naturlig skønhed og kulturelle rigdomme. Topolia-kløften, Agia Sophia-hulen, Chrissoskalitissa-klosteret og en strand, som mange anser for at være øens bedste, er blandt dagens højdepunkter på denne dagstur. Rena, en af vores lokale guider, siger: "Denne rundtur kombinerer det bedste fra det kretensiske højland med den idylliske lyserøde sandstrand i Elafonisi på sydkysten".

Der er en afslappet start på dagen med et stop, hvor vi nyder kaffe på en familiedrevet taverna i landsbyen Voulgaro. Herfra venter der en panoramisk køretur sydpå gennem Topolia-kløften. Udsigten over den dybe kløft til venstre er forrygende. Herefter besøger vi Agia Sophia-hulen, som er berømt for dens stalaktitter, og er omspundet af en række legender. Det siges, at man her kan finde aftrykket af hoven fra den hellige George-hest. Hvis du kigger godt nok efter, kan du finde noget, der ligner et hesteskoaftryk i en sten.

Dernæst besøger vi Chrissoskalitissa-klosteret. Dette 1000 år gamle kloster er bygget på en bakke med udsigt over kysten og byder på tidløs charme. Dets navn betyder "gyldne trin" og er gennemsyret af myter. Ifølge nogle af dem er et af trinene gyldent, men det er kun synligt for de religiøse. Den sidste destination er intet mindre end betagende smuk. Rena fortæller: "Man kan nå til øen Elafonisi ved at gå gennem en lavvandet strækning fra Elafonisi-stranden". Brug eftermiddagen på at nyde solen, svømme, slappe af og nyde den mageløse udsigt, og vi slutter dagen i fiskerlandsbyen 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.
