Cretan for a Day

Spend a day at a traditional village in the heart of the Cretan mountains and experience all that comes with it—beekeeping and honey production, baking, milking and cottage cheese production. Put on a beekeeper’s costume, discover all the secrets of beekeeping with the local beekeeper and delight in the taste of pure honey with cheese. Next visit with the baker and learn how to bake rusks in a wood oven—you’ll also get to taste his excellent selection of home-made cookies. Then visit the shepherd for a lesson in how sheep are milked and how to prepare the freshest cottage cheese you will ever taste. Lastly, enjoy your scenic setting in the heart of the mountains and a traditional meal of lamb and Cretan pilafi to end your tour.
