Beskrivelse

Steeped in ancient myths, Crete really is the stuff of legend. This family-friendly tour is bursting with culture and heritage. You'll be whisked back to the age of Minoan civilisation at the Palace of Knossos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit the Natural History Museum. And there's also free time to explore Crete's capital, Heraklion. Georgios, one of our expert local guides, says, "the kids will learn everything about King Minos, Daedalus and Icarus, and the fearsome Minotaur."

Knossos was the hub of Crete's Minoan civilisation and where the Minotaur lurked in his labyrinth. Your guide will give you the lowdown on the ancient myths and kings as you discover the throne room and more. As this tour is geared for the family, you're in for some fascinating mythological stories about Europe's first civilisation. What's more, your ticket contributes to the preservation of this heritage site.

The tour also includes entry to the Natural History Museum. Here, you'll learn about the types of dinosaurs that once roamed the island, and dig for fossils like an archaeologist. Georgios says, "the kids will learn about Crete's flora and fauna, and the ecosystems of the eastern Mediterranean." Afterwards, you'll have a couple of hours to wander around Heraklion, Crete's buzzing capital. See the Venetian lion fountain before some free time for shopping. Head to the open-air market to try local produce or end the day with a relaxing stroll around the Venetian harbour.

Der Palast von Knossos war super interessant eigentlich 10 Punkte Aufenthalt in Heraklion City war etwas kurz nur ca 50 min schade Und von Naturkundemuseum hatte ich einfach was anderes mir persönlich vorgestellt nicht nur ausgestorbenen und ausgestopfte Tiere und Dinossaurier Finde das sollten 2 getrennte Ausflüge sein vor allem wenn Kinder dabei sind die sich erst langweilig durch Knossos quälen um dann endlich zu denn Dinos zu kommen was ihnen wichtig war und sie dort ihren spass hatten

Sehr gut fanden wir das die Tour an das Touristen aufkommen aufgrund von Kreuzfahrtschiffen angepasst wurde und auf Grund dessen erst das Museum besucht wurde und als letztes Knossos. Außerdem war unsere Reiseleiterin sehr freundlich und hat uns vorallem durch die Ruinen eine ganz wunderbare Führung mit viel Wissen gegeben. Für Museum und den Stadt Besuch hätte man unserer Meinung nach noch etwas mehr Zeit einplanen könne.

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

People & Culture

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.
