Beskrivning

På den här utflykten besöker vi det historiska klostret Agia Triada, får en guidad rundtur i Chania och tid att varva ner vid Kretas enda naturliga sjö. Angeliki, en av våra lokalguider, säger: "Agia Triada ger en inblick i Kretas rika kulturarv. Det byggdes under den venetianska perioden och ståtar med ett imponerande utbud av fresker och religiösa artefakter. Klostret är en oas av lugn, omgivet av olivlundar och vingårdar.

Efter att ha utforskat klostret fortsätter vi till Chania, en av Kretas mest tilltalande hamnstäder. Staden är genomsyrad av historia och känd för sin atmosfäriska venetianska hamn, och du får utforska de smala gatorna under en guidad rundtur. Du får också chansen att shoppa längs den berömda "Leather Lane" och njuta av lite ledig tid att strosa runt i hamnen eller fördjupa dig ytterligare i den gamla staden. Härnäst besöker ni den arkeologiska utgrävningsplatsen Aptera, som en gång var en stor stad på det antika Kreta. Här finns en romersk teater och flera tempel.

Som avslutning på resan besöker vi Kournas-sjön, en juvel av en sötvattensjö omgiven av kullar. Sjön är hem för ett brett spektrum av vilda djur, inklusive sköldpaddor och en mängd olika fågelarter. Du får tid på egen hand att utforska området, ta ett dopp i det klara vattnet eller promenera runt sjön. Angeliki säger: "Lokala myter hävdar att sjön är bottenlös, men vetenskapen har ingripit och i själva verket är den bara 22,5 meter djup.

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.
