Det kan du forvente

Crete is the cradle of wine history, with its authentic country life and indigenous grape varieties dating far back to the ancient Minoans. Veta, one of our local guides, says ‘What I like most about showing visitors around on this tour is that they meet the local producers and farmers and hear their stories.' Over the course of the day, you'll taste locally produced olive oil, enjoy a typical Cretan lunch, and sip on regional whites and reds at an award-winning winery.

We'll begin our culinary adventure at the Kriti Allios olive oil producer, set among olive groves to the south of Heraklion. Here we'll tour the facilities and surrounding groves before a Cretan olive oil tasting session. ‘Olive oil has been a Cretan staple since Minoan times. Archeologists have found evidence that the Minoans, the earliest Cretan civilization, used olive oil for rituals, medicine and culinary purposes,' adds Veta. After the tasting, there's a tasty farm fresh lunch to tuck into with traditional local delicacies.

Next, we'll pay a visit to family-run Titakis Winery. Its wines have won multiple awards in the past decade, especially the Kotsifali reds. After a tour of the estate and the wine production areas, you'll taste four different wines, accompanied by breadsticks and olives. Veta says, ‘There's always a bottle on the dinner table in Cretan homes – and often it'll be from this winery. The Titakis family has a strong focus on the production of rare local varieties.'

    This tour was great! Everyone we met at both the winery and olive oil tour were super lovely and informative. The lunch was amazing and a lot bigger than expected, super yummy food! The coach from Stalis was 2 hours so quite long as we were the first pick up. Overall you tried 4 different wines, probably having a large glass overall so would have been nice to try some more wine!

    Our tour guide Rina (excuse the spelling) jumped off the coach in such a bubbly positive demeanour, you had to smile yourself! Great start of the day! Visiting both family run facilities was a wonderful experience. Just the right number of guests, with excellent explanations and a clear understanding of the processes. The olive tasting and lunch was enjoyable giving ample opportunity to get to know each other. The grapes, wine-tasting and gathering was equally enjoyable. A great day out.

    This was advertised as a half day tour. (4-8 hours) We were first on the coach at Sissi. There were too many people on the tour spread across multiple pickup hotels. Because of these delays, and then needing a fresh driver, we didn't get dropped off back at our hotel until 10.5 hours after we were picked up.!This is 2.5 hours after the very wide range you'd indicated. The first part of the tour and lunch at the olive groves was very good but I'd not bother with the winery tour.

    Hele leuke excursie! Ik ben super blij dat onze tour verzet kon worden omdat ik onverwachts ziek werd. Niks was teveel en zonder moeite kon onze excursie omgeboekt worden. Ben jullie nog steeds heel dankbaar hiervoor! De excursie is zeer aan te raden, wij hadden een hele fijne en leuke gids, die alles met veel enthousiasme vertelde, dat maakte onze dag! En daardoor zit je veel aandachtiger te luisteren. Kortom de leukste excursie die we gedaan hebben hier.

    This was a great experience. The visit to the vineyard in particular was really good. The guide,who was a member of the owning family,was superb and explained everything extremely clearly. The lunch served there was amazing. In fact I would advise anyone planning to take this trip in future to go very light on breakfast so that you can really do justice to it. The wine tour was also excellent and especially the tasting at the end. The host lady on the bus was also excellent as was the driver.

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Millenary History of Olive Oil

Approximate itinerary and duration of activitiesIntroduction - 15 minutesWalking tour through the olive trees - 30 minutesPause for questions and raki drink - 15 minutesOlive oil factory tour - 40 minutesOlive oil tasting and questions - 55 minutesCooking demonstration and tastings - 30 minutesPlease note the order of activities may vary at your guide's discretion With millennia of experience behind them, it's no wonder the people of Crete produce some of the finest olive oil in the world. You will appreciate the timeless bond between Cretans and their revered olive trees as you trace the long heritage of olive cultivation on the island. Just outside Kritsa village in the hills of eastern Crete, you'll follow Nikos Plevritakis on a brief walk to his olive groves where some trees are 600-800 years old, and learn about olive cultivation from a true specialist. In the shade of the olive trees, you can try local raki known as ‘tsikoudia' with olives to nibble on while discussing the cultural and societal significance of olive cultivation in Crete. Then it's time to visit a local cooperative factory, to see up close how olives are processed into world-class olive oil. Back on the Olive Path, seize the chance to taste fresh figs, almonds, and grapes, see what the locals are growing, and find out all about the Cretan lifestyle and diet. Then, at an olive farm, you can sample olives, fresh tomatoes, and raki before your olive oil tasting session begins – a great opportunity to learn how to taste oils like a professional and compare the flavor profiles of different varieties. Finish off the day with a cooking lesson on various ways to use olive oil in Cretan cuisine. Authentic dishes, such as tzatziki and Greek salad will feature, and you'll find out why the traditional Cretan diet is so beneficial to health and longevity.

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.
