  • Nyd en naturskøn gåtur blandt lokale haver, smag på regionale frugter og lær om kretensisk kost.

Det kan du forvente

Med tusindvis af års erfaring er det ikke underligt, at befolkningen på Kreta producerer noget af den fineste olivenolie i verden. Du vil forstå det evige bånd mellem kretenserne og deres ærværdige oliventræer, mens du opdager den lange tradition for olivendyrkning på øen. Lige uden for landsbyen Kritsa i bjergene på det østlige Kreta kan du tage med Nikos Plevritakis på en kort gåtur til hans olivenlunde, hvor nogle af træerne er 600-800 år gamle. Lær om olivendyrkning fra en sand specialist.

I skyggen af oliventræerne kan du smage den lokale raki kaldet "tsikoudia" med oliven til, mens du diskuterer den kulturelle og samfundsmæssige betydning af olivendyrkning på Kreta.

Derefter er det tid til at besøge en lokal kooperativ fabrik for at se på tæt hold, hvordan oliven forarbejdes til olivenolie i verdensklasse. Tilbage på olivenstien kan du smage friske figner, mandler og druer, se hvad de lokale dyrker, og lære alt om kretensisk livsstil og kost.

På en olivenfarm kan du så smage oliven, friske tomater og raki, før olivenoliesmagningen begynder. Dette er en fantastisk mulighed for at lære at smage på olier som en professionel og sammenligne smagsprofilerne for forskellige sorter.

Afslut dagen med en lektion i madlavning om forskellige måder at bruge olivenolie på i det kretensiske køkken. Der vil blive serveret autentiske retter som tzatziki og græsk salat, og du vil lære, hvorfor den traditionelle kretensiske kost er så god for helbredet og livslængden.

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.
