Qué te espera

Con milenios de experiencia a sus espaldas, no es de extrañar que los cretenses produzcan uno de los mejores aceites de oliva del mundo. Aprecia el arraigado vínculo entre los cretenses y sus venerados olivos mientras repasas la larga herencia del cultivo del olivo en la isla. A las afueras del pueblo de Kritsa, en las colinas del este de Creta, seguirás a Nikos Plevritakis durante un breve paseo hasta sus olivares, donde algunos árboles tienen entre 600 y 800 años. Aprenderás sobre su cultivo de la mano de un auténtico especialista.

A la sombra de los olivos, podrás catar el raki local, conocido como tsikoudia, y picar unas aceitunas mientras hablas de la importancia cultural y social del cultivo del olivo en Creta.

A continuación, visitarás una fábrica cooperativa local para ver de cerca cómo se transforman las aceitunas en aceite de primera calidad. De vuelta a la ruta del olivo, tendrás la ocasión de probar higos, almendras y uvas frescas, ver qué cultivan los cretenses y descubrir todo sobre el estilo de vida y la dieta local.

Después, en una granja de olivos, tomarás unas aceitunas, tomates frescos y raki antes de comenzar la cata de aceite de oliva, una gran oportunidad para aprender a catar aceites como un profesional y comparar los perfiles de sabor de las distintas variedades.

Termina el día con una clase de cocina sobre las distintas formas de utilizar el aceite de oliva en la cocina cretense. Se servirán platos típicos, como el tzatziki y la ensalada griega, y descubrirás por qué la dieta tradicional cretense es tan beneficiosa para la salud y la longevidad.

Crete day tour with monastery, winery visit and cooking class

A chance to delve into Crete's culture and eat like an islander. On this full day tour inland from Chania, you'll visit a winery in Alikambos, explore a historic monastery, and take part in a hands-on cheese-making class. Joanna, one of our expert local guides, says, "this tour is the ideal opportunity to taste Cretan olive oil and wine, and to try local food that you'll get to prepare during a cooking lesson."After making your way through the scenic foothills of the White Mountains, you'll reach your first port of call – award-winning Dourakis Winery, a family-run business with decades of experience in winemaking and olive oil production. Enjoy sampling its organic Cabernet Sauvignon wines and olive oil before setting off into the countryside.Next, you'll head to the Monastery of St George. Set among sun-soaked olive groves in the village of Karydi, this early 17th-century retreat was restored after many decades of abandonment, though parts of it still retain a ruined air. You'll be able to explore the grounds and discover the remains of the old olive oil press. What's more, your visit directly contributes to the monastery's upkeep. Your final stop is Kefalas village where you'll partake in a cooking lesson to learn how to prepare a traditional dish. Then it'll be time to roll up your sleeves and have a go yourself. Prepare a meal using a recipe you can recreate when you get back home, and if you're feeling creative, you can even try your hand at making Cretan cheese.
