Ce qui vous attend

Cette journée pleine d'action donne vie à l'essence de la Crète pour toute la famille. Découvrez la mythologie grecque en explorant les sentiers de montagne pittoresques lors d'une aventure tout-terrain menant au plateau de Lassithi. Essayez-vous à la fabrication de céramiques, puis visitez le parc mythologique. Katerina, l'une de nos guides locales expertes, explique avec enthousiasme : "Le plateau de Lassithi est l'un de mes endroits préférés de cette excursion. La vue s'ouvre sur les dizaines de moulins à vent qui parsèment le paysage. Construits au 19ᵉ siècle pour moudre le grain, ce sont aujourd'hui un symbole de la région."

Nous partirons sur un sentier qui grimpe dans les montagnes pour atteindre le premier arrêt, au barrage d'Aposelimi. De là, nous nous dirigerons vers un point de vue d'où nous pourrons admirer le plateau de Lassithi, une haute plaine fertile qui, selon la légende, serait le lieu de naissance de Zeus.

En descendant sur le plateau, nous nous dirigerons vers un atelier de céramique et un producteur d'huile d'olive. C'est une étape amusante pour les enfants, qui auront tout le temps de s'essayer à la fabrication de leurs propres créations en poterie. Entrez ensuite dans le parc mythologique, où vous en apprendrez plus sur les mythes de la Grèce antique. Les éclairages spéciaux et les effets sonores, ainsi que la visite audio, rendent le parc agréable pour tous les âges. Terminez la journée par un repas dans une taverne, avant de faire un arrêt au village de Krassi, célèbre pour son platane vieux de 2 000 ans et sa source naturelle.

Crete food and wine-tasting with wine factory visit

Crete is the cradle of wine history, with its authentic country life and indigenous grape varieties dating far back to the ancient Minoans. Veta, one of our local guides, says ‘What I like most about showing visitors around on this tour is that they meet the local producers and farmers and hear their stories.' Over the course of the day, you'll taste locally produced olive oil, enjoy a typical Cretan lunch, and sip on regional whites and reds at an award-winning winery.We'll begin our culinary adventure at the Kriti Allios olive oil producer, set among olive groves to the south of Heraklion. Here we'll tour the facilities and surrounding groves before a Cretan olive oil tasting session. ‘Olive oil has been a Cretan staple since Minoan times. Archeologists have found evidence that the Minoans, the earliest Cretan civilization, used olive oil for rituals, medicine and culinary purposes,' adds Veta. After the tasting, there's a tasty farm fresh lunch to tuck into with traditional local delicacies.Next, we'll pay a visit to family-run Titakis Winery. Its wines have won multiple awards in the past decade, especially the Kotsifali reds. After a tour of the estate and the wine production areas, you'll taste four different wines, accompanied by breadsticks and olives. Veta says, ‘There's always a bottle on the dinner table in Cretan homes – and often it'll be from this winery. The Titakis family has a strong focus on the production of rare local varieties.'
