Qué te espera

Considerado la cuna de la primera civilización de Europa, el Palacio de Cnosos, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, es uno de los yacimientos antiguos más importantes de Creta. Deje que un experto le haga revivir la historia mientras explora la joya arqueológica más preciada de la isla. Este viaje también incluye tiempo libre en los centros turísticos de Rethymnon, además de una visita a la capital cretense, Heraklion. Andreas, uno de nuestros expertos guías locales, afirma: "Los minoicos eran muy avanzados, y el Palacio de Cnosos muestra técnicas arquitectónicas adelantadas a su tiempo, como edificios de varios pisos y un sofisticado sistema de drenaje".

Comenzará la mañana en el laberinto de coloridas calles de Rethimno, donde podrá recorrer las tiendas, encontrar un pequeño café o dirigirse al puerto. Curvado alrededor de la pequeña bahía, el puerto de Rethimno es tan bonito como antiguo. Las vistas de la Fortezza veneciana y del mar son una delicia. A continuación, la capital de Creta, Heraklion. Aquí disfrutará de una visita guiada por los mejores lugares de la ciudad, como la fuente del león veneciano y la logia. También dispondrá de tiempo libre para explorar la ciudad a su ritmo.

Por último, pero no por ello menos importante, la última parada del día es una visita guiada al Palacio de Cnosos. Admire tesoros como la sala del trono, los aposentos reales y los fabulosos frescos. Especialmente impresionantes son los frescos antiguos, que representan escenas de la vida cotidiana, rituales religiosos y criaturas míticas. También conocerá el Laberinto, donde, según la leyenda, acechaba la temible criatura mitad hombre y mitad toro conocida como el Minotauro.

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.
