Highlights
  • Ontdek de gastronomie van Kreta en breng de dag door met een lokale familie. Help mee met de dagelijkse beslommeringen op de boerderij en vang een glimp op het traditionele leven op het eiland.
  • De eigenaars van de boerderij verwelkomen je persoonlijk bij hen thuis en brengen de dag met je door. Ze delen inzichten over de lokale producten, de uitdagingen van het boerenbedrijf, de voordelen voor het ecosysteem en de hoop en de zorgen van de familie.
  • Neem deel aan het dagelijks leven op de boerderij: bak brood, raap eieren, verzorg de dieren en bereid een Kretenzische maaltijd. En alleen voor National Geographic reizigers staat er zelfs een exclusieve slakkenjacht op het programma.
  • Leer een traditioneel Kretenzisch recept tijdens een kookworkshop en maak kennis met de lokale cultuur door middel van folklore, lokale verhalen en liederen.
Dit kun je verwachten

Kleinschalige familieboerderijen zijn essentieel voor het mediterrane dieet waar Kreta zo beroemd om is. Een lokale familie heet je welkom in hun Mitato, een kleine boerderij. En je wordt begroet met de oprechte warmte van de Kretenzische gastvrijheid. De lokale boer vertelt je het intrigerende verhaal over koning Minoas, die vanuit zijn waarnemingspost de boel in de gaten hield en de lokale bevolking waarschuwde voor de komst van piraten. Na deze eerste kennismaking is het tijd voor een workshop broodbakken. Je leert de fijne kneepjes van het bereiden van het typische Kretenzische brood dat uit tarwe- en gerstemeel bestaat.

Ook zie je hoe de geitenmelk van de boerderij wordt omgetoverd tot kaas. Daarna steek je de handen uit de mouwen en help je mee met de dagelijkse werkzaamheden op de boerderij. Denk hierbij aan het voeren van de geiten, de varkens, de kippen en de konijnen en het verzorgen van de tuinen. Dan begint het echte avontuur: je gaat op een heuse slakkenjacht op de berghelling, exclusief voor National Geographic reizigers. Je gluurt onder rotsen en tussen struiken en bloemen. En naarmate de dag vordert, worden je verzamelde schatten, waaronder slakken, eieren, fruit en groenten, de ingrediënten voor de lunch.

Samen met de lokale familie maak je een feestmaal van traditionele lekkernijen klaar, allemaal bereid met het resultaat van je inspanningen. Je sluit de dag af in stijl met een slok Raki, de lokale sterke drank. Voor je het weet lal je mee met de traditionele Kretenzische 'Mantinades' – volksliederen die bestaan uit rijmende coupletten die verschillende aspecten over het dagelijkse leven op Kreta verwoorden.

Crete day tour with monastery, winery visit and cooking class

A chance to delve into Crete's culture and eat like an islander. On this full day tour inland from Chania, you'll visit a winery in Alikambos, explore a historic monastery, and take part in a hands-on cheese-making class. Joanna, one of our expert local guides, says, "this tour is the ideal opportunity to taste Cretan olive oil and wine, and to try local food that you'll get to prepare during a cooking lesson."After making your way through the scenic foothills of the White Mountains, you'll reach your first port of call – award-winning Dourakis Winery, a family-run business with decades of experience in winemaking and olive oil production. Enjoy sampling its organic Cabernet Sauvignon wines and olive oil before setting off into the countryside.Next, you'll head to the Monastery of St George. Set among sun-soaked olive groves in the village of Karydi, this early 17th-century retreat was restored after many decades of abandonment, though parts of it still retain a ruined air. You'll be able to explore the grounds and discover the remains of the old olive oil press. What's more, your visit directly contributes to the monastery's upkeep. Your final stop is Kefalas village where you'll partake in a cooking lesson to learn how to prepare a traditional dish. Then it'll be time to roll up your sleeves and have a go yourself. Prepare a meal using a recipe you can recreate when you get back home, and if you're feeling creative, you can even try your hand at making Cretan cheese.
