Höjdpunkter

Ledig tid i gamla stan i Rethymnon
Bada, vandra eller sola vid Kournas-sjön, den enda sötvattensjön på Kreta
Njut av den friska bergsluften

Beskrivning

Den gamla kuststaden Rethymnon andas historia och charm. På förmiddagen kan du utforska staden i lugn och ro på egen hand – missa inte den gamla hamnen och fästningen - innan det bär av till den närliggande sjön Kournas på eftermiddagen.

Rethymnons gamla stad är ganska kompakt och full av liv och rörelse. En labyrint av smala gränder förbinder den gamla hamnen med citadellet Fortezza. Allt däremellan härstammar från den venetianska och den ottomanska eran. Förutom tavernor och butiker hittar du kyrkor i alla stilar och moskéer. Veli Pasha-moskén renoverades nyligen och är nu ett paleontologiskt museum - det är väl värt ett besök.

Sedan bär det av till Kournas-sjön. Den är skyddad enligt Natura 2000-projektet och är en dröm för allt som har med grönska att göra. Omgiven av den imponerande vita bergskedjan - och den enda sötvattensjön på Kreta - har du drygt en timme på dig att njuta av den friska bergsluften, bada i det lugna vattnet eller koppla av på sandstranden.

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.
