Qué te espera

Este safari al atardecer le llevará fuera de los caminos trillados en más de un sentido. Seguirá senderos panorámicos en su todoterreno para explorar paisajes ocultos que pocos visitantes ven. Prepárese para disfrutar de vistas panorámicas de Rethymnon mientras atraviesa pueblos tradicionales de camino al embalse de la presa de Amari. Eleni, una de nuestras expertas guías locales, afirma: "Lejos de la costa, las tradiciones cretenses siguen siendo fuertes, y mucha gente vive de la tierra. Los olivares, los campos de vides y los huertos de cítricos representan los cultivos más importantes, aunque ahora los aguacates se están convirtiendo en una fruta popular en nuestras granjas".

Al salir de Rethymnon, pronto se dirigirá hacia las colinas. Atravesando los tranquilos pueblos de Pigi, Adelle, Saint Dimitrios y Harkia, cambiaremos las luces brillantes por rutas sin asfaltar, vegetación salvaje y vistas tranquilas. Podrá ver de cerca la verdadera Creta y conocer el patrimonio de la isla. Según Eleni, "Creta es una de las pocas islas de Grecia que seguiría teniendo una economía autosuficiente sin el turismo. La agricultura sigue siendo una industria muy importante aquí".

Subiremos por las colinas hasta un fabuloso mirador desde el que contemplaremos la costa y las montañas, con una hermosa vista del embalse de Amari, justo debajo. No hay mejor lugar para contemplar una puesta de sol. Para terminar la excursión, se detendrá en una taberna familiar, donde podrá degustar un plato de especialidades cretenses meze con una copa de vino.

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.
