Traditional Crete, a Self-Reliant Paradise

Crete island is a unique place, a little self-reliant paradise. Everything is combined in harmony and balance on our island. The people, the land, the products, and the traditions. The local traditions of Crete are included in many aspects of peoples’ lives. Agriculture, life stock raising, and local gastronomy are just some of the main features of Cretan traditional life, which are still alive in many places on the island. We are inviting you to be part of this culture and experience a whole day like a real Cretan!

Your Traditional Crete Experience with Us

This tour takes place in a traditional village located in the mountainous region of Heraklion. You and your family will be members of a Cretan family and you will join them in their everyday activities in the House and on the Farm. How would you like this idea?!

You will brew Greek coffee in hot sand, milk goats, prepare yourself and taste a local traditional meal. Then, you will also have the chance to visit farming installations, a local dairy, a honey workshop, and a two-hundred-year-old Raki still. You will learn about the process of Raki and winemaking, taste delicious cheese, local honey, various herbs, and spices.

Let’s not miss a unique cooking class tasting some of the Cretan local plates in this special Cretan tradition experience!

You will explore beautiful ancient sites and vineyards, and participate in seasonal agricultural events like grape stomping and the Raki distillation, on the months of production.
