Retken kuvaus

Maastoautosafarit ei tästä hauskemmaksi muutu. Tämä iltaretki vie sinut jännittävälle ajelulle Kreetan vuoristoon, jossa näet kyliä, maamerkkejä ja paljon muuta. Lisäksi sinua odottaa perinteinen illallinen paikallisessa tavernassa. Vaggelis, yksi paikallisoppaistamme, kertoo: "Lassithin ylängön sanotaan olevan Zeuksen, kreikkalaisten jumalien kuninkaan, syntymäpaikka. Legendan mukaan hänen äitinsä Rhea piilotti vastasyntyneen tasangolla sijaitsevaan luolaan suojellakseen häntä joutumasta isänsä syömäksi. Se on yksi parhaista paikoista Kreetalla, kun haluat nähdä pohjoisen lintuperspektiivistä."

Kaikki alkaa siitä hetkestä, kun hyppäät maastoauton kyytiin ja suuntaat vuorille. Pysähdyt Aposelemisin padolla ja antiikin Rooman akvedukteilla, ennen kuin jatkat matkaa Kastamonitsan kylään. Täällä sinut toivotetaan tervetulleeksi rakilla. Vaggelis kertoo: "Rypäleiden sadonkorjuun jälkeen jäljelle jääneiden kuorten, siementen ja varsien annetaan käydä, minkä jälkeen ne tislataan. Rakin valmistus on perinne, jota monet kreetalaiset perheet vaalivat ylpeydellä".

Jatkat minolaista polkua pitkin ihaillen luontoa ja maisemia samalla, kun opit paikallisesta mytologiasta ja historiasta. Pysähdyt nauttimaan lasillisen makeaa kuohuviiniä ja ihailemaan Lassithin ylätasankoa sekä sieltä avautuvia näkymiä. Illalliselle suuntaat paikalliseen tavernaan nauttimaan perinteisen kreetalaisen aterian viinin kera. Illan koittaessa ajelet takaisin vuoristoteitä pitkin kaupunkien ja kylien tuikkivien valojen loisteessa.

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.
