Beskrivning

"Palatset i Knossos är en av de viktigaste arkeologiska platserna på Kreta eftersom det var där Europas första civilisation började", säger Veta, en av våra guider. Hon är född och uppvuxen här, en lokalinvånare som vet ett och annat om legenderna och myterna kring öns mest populära attraktion. Du kommer att tillbringa dagen med att se historien väckas till liv när du gör en rundtur på palatset, innan du går över till Heraklion för lite ledig tid på egen hand i huvudstaden.

Palatset i Knossos, som en gång var navet i Kretas minoiska civilisation, ligger i hjärtat av vad som anses vara Europas äldsta bosättning. Du kommer att njuta av en guidad rundtur runt dess skatter, stanna till vid tronrummet, kungliga våningar, fresker och mycket mer. Det kommer till och med att finnas en chans att se labyrinten, där den skräckinjagande varelsen som är till hälften människa och till hälften en tjur, känd som Minotaurus sades ha lurat. Med prioriterad entré slipper du stå i kö.

Det är sedan dags att bege sig till Heraklion, öns huvudstad. Se Morozini-lejonens fontän från 1600-talet och den 400 år gamla venetianska Loggia – som fortfarande är stadshuset – under en guidad promenad runt staden. Vi avrundar dagen med att ta dig till de öppna marknaderna för lite tid på egen hand. Strosa omkring bland stånden fyllda med handgjorda prydnadssaker och färska lokala råvaror eller stanna till för en kaffe på ett lokalt kafé för att se på folklivet. Andra viktiga sevärdheter är fästningen Koule och kyrkan Agios Titos.

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.
