Det kan du forvente

Paladset i Knossos, der er på UNESCO's Verdensarvsliste, menes at være vuggen for Europas første civilisation og er et af de vigtigste antikke steder på Kreta. Lad en specialist vække historien til live, mens du udforsker øens mest værdifulde arkæologiske perle. Denne udflugt inkluderer også egen tid på ferieresorts i Rethymnon samt en rundvisning i Kretas hovedstad, Heraklion. Andreas, en af vores dygtige lokale guider, siger: "Minoerne var meget avancerede, og paladset i Knossos viser arkitektoniske teknikker bag bygninger i flere etager og et sofistikeret dræningssystem, der var forud for deres tid".

Vi starter morgenen i Rethymnons labyrint af farverige gader, hvor du kan gå på opdagelse i butikkerne, finde en lille café eller gå ned til havnen. Rethymnons havn, der bugter sig rundt om den lille bugt, er lige så smuk, som den er gammel. Udsigten til Fortezza fra den venetianske æra og ud over havet er en fryd. Det næste stop er Kretas hovedstad, Heraklion. Her har du en guidet rundvisnig til byens bedste steder, såsom den venetianske løvefontæne og loggiaen. Der vil også være lidt tid på egen hånd til at udforske i dit eget tempo.

Sidst, men på ingen måde mindst, er dagens sidste stop et guidet besøg på Knossos-paladset. Du beundrer skatte som tronsalen, de kongelige lejligheder og de fabelagtige freskoer. De antikke freskoer er særligt imponerende og viser scener fra hverdagslivet, religiøse ritualer og mytiske væsener. Du vil også opleve labyrinten, hvor legenden siger, at det frygtindgydende væsen Minotaurus, halvt menneske og halvt tyr, lurede.

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.

This tour takes in the historic Agia Triada Monastery, a guided tour of Chania and time to unwind at Crete's only natural lake.
