Description
Explore authentic crete and taste olive oil ,wine, raki and cretan food
In this tour you will have the opportunity to try the best quality of Cretan pure virgin olive oil, as we start by visiting an Olive Oil Mill. You will learn about the olive oil production now and in the past and enjoy a tour in the facilities. You will understand first-hand, that what makes Cretan olive oil stand out is not only its high quality and distinctive flavor but also the process of preserving its nutritional values on the production stage. Next stop is to a local winery, where you will try 3 different varieties of wine. It appears that passion can be bottled, and this must be the ingredient that makes Cretan wine taste so unique along with the fact that the wine history on the island stretches back at least 3500 years! Furthermore, in a Cretan “kazani” that we will visit next you will learn about the traditional way of producing Cretan raki and through this process you will understand where past and future overlap. If you are curious to understand the traditions and ways of raki distillation, this is an experiential path. This tour would not be complete, without a stop in a Cretan Restaurant. If you haven’ t tasted a Greek meal before, be prepared to be surprised. As the whole experience will cultivate your imagination, openness and awaken your senses, it will lead to a deep understanding of the Cretan values and customs. It is a travel in time that will make you eager to connect and explore more.
