Qué te espera

Con milenios de experiencia a sus espaldas, no es de extrañar que los cretenses produzcan uno de los mejores aceites de oliva del mundo. Apreciará el vínculo eterno entre los cretenses y sus venerados olivos mientras recorre la larga herencia del cultivo del olivo en la isla. A las afueras del pueblo de Kritsa, en las colinas del este de Creta, seguirá a Nikos Plevritakis en un breve paseo hasta sus olivares, donde algunos árboles tienen entre 600 y 800 años, y aprenderá sobre el cultivo del olivo de la mano de un auténtico especialista.

A la sombra de los olivos, podrá degustar el raki local conocido como "tsikoudia" con aceitunas para picar mientras habla de la importancia cultural y social del cultivo del olivo en Creta.

A continuación, visitaremos una fábrica cooperativa local para ver de cerca cómo se transforman las aceitunas en aceite de oliva de primera calidad. De vuelta a la Ruta del Olivo, aproveche la oportunidad para degustar higos, almendras y uvas frescas, ver lo que cultiva la población local y descubrir todo sobre el estilo de vida y la dieta cretenses.

Después, en una granja de olivos, podrá degustar aceitunas, tomates frescos y raki antes de comenzar la cata de aceite de oliva, una gran oportunidad para aprender a catar aceites como un profesional y comparar los perfiles de sabor de las distintas variedades.

Termine el día con una clase de cocina sobre las distintas formas de utilizar el aceite de oliva en la cocina cretense. Se servirán platos auténticos, como el tzatziki y la ensalada griega, y descubrirá por qué la dieta tradicional cretense es tan beneficiosa para la salud y la longevidad.

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.

It's picture-postcard Greece.Once you're on dry land, you'll take off on a scenic tour, exploring many of the island's attractions and learning about its history.
