Dit kun je verwachten

Het paleis van Knossos wordt gezien als de plek waar de eerste beschaving van Europa begon. En als een van de belangrijkste archeologische sites van Kreta heeft het een plekje gekregen op de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. Laat een deskundige de geschiedenis tot leven brengen, terwijl je de meest gewaardeerde archeologische parel van het eiland verkent. Je hebt ook vrije tijd in Rethmynon en krijgt een rondleiding door de Kretenzische hoofdstad Heraklion. Andreas, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "De Minoïers waren zeer geavanceerd en het Paleis van Knossos bevat architectonische hoogstandjes, zoals gebouwen met meerdere verdiepingen en een geavanceerd afwateringssysteem die hun tijd ver vooruit waren.”

Je begint de ochtend in het doolhof van kleurrijke straten van Rethymnon. Je snuffelt er rond in de winkeltjes, strijkt neer bij een café, of neemt een kijkje in de haven. De haven van Rethymnon ligt in een kleine baai en is even mooi als oud. Het uitzicht op het Venetiaanse Fortezza en de zee is episch. Vervolgens bezoek je Heraklion, de hoofdstad van Kreta. Je bekijkt de Venetiaanse leeuwenfontein en de loggia als je met de gids door de stad wandelt. En dan verken je zelf op je gemak de stad verder.

Dan is het tijd voor een rondleiding in het Paleis van Knossos. Je kijkt je ogen uit op schatten zoals de troonzaal, koninklijke appartementen en de fabelachtige fresco's. Vooral de oude fresco's zijn indrukwekkend en tonen scènes uit het dagelijks leven, religieuze rituelen en mythische wezens. Ook bezoek je het Labyrint, waar volgens de legende de angstaanjagende Minotaurus – half mens, half stier wezen – op de loer lag.

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.
