Nat Geo Day Tour: De duizendjarige geschiedenis van olijfolie
Met duizenden jaren ervaring is het geen wonder dat de inwoners van Kreta een van de beste olijfolies ter wereld produceren. Op deze National Geographic Day Tour volg je de lange geschiedenis van de olijventeelt op het eiland. En na afloop snap je waarom de tijdloze band tussen de Kretenzers en hun vereerde olijfbomen zo bijzonder is. Net buiten het dorp Kritsa in de heuvels van Oost-Kreta wandel je samen met Nikos Plevritakis naar zijn olijfgaarden. Nikos is een echte specialist op het gebied van de olijventeelt en sommige van zijn bomen zijn maar liefst 600 tot 800 jaar oud. In de schaduw van de olijfbomen neem je een slok lokale raki, hier bekend als 'tsikoudia'. En terwijl je op wat olijven knabbelt kom je meer te weten over de culturele en maatschappelijke betekenis van de olijventeelt op Kreta. Daarna zie je in een lokale coöperatieve fabriek hoe olijven worden verwerkt tot olijfolie van wereldklasse. Terug op het Olijvenpad grijp je je kans om verse vijgen, amandelen en druiven te proeven. Ook zie je wat de lokale bevolking verbouwt en je komt alles te weten over de Kretenzische levensstijl en eetgewoontes. Daarna smul je op een olijfboerderij van olijven, verse tomaten en raki, gevolgd door een olijfolieproeverij - een geweldige kans om te leren hoe je olie proeft als een professional. En je vergelijkt de smaakprofielen van verschillende soorten olijfolie. Je sluit je dag af met een kookworkshop waarbij je leert op welke verschillende manieren olijfolie gebruikt wordt in de Kretenzische keuken. Authentieke gerechten zoals tzatziki en Griekse salade komen aan bod en je ontdekt waarom het traditionele Kretenzische dieet zo belangrijk is voor een gezond en lang leven.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Discover Cretan Farm Life
Small-scale, family-run farms are integral to the Mediterranean diet that Crete is so famous for. A local family will welcome you to their Mitato, a small farmhouse, where you'll be greeted with the genuine warmth of Cretan hospitality. Listen to the local farmer tell the intriguing tale of King Minoas who watched from his observatory, and alerted locals to incoming pirates. Greetings over, it's time for a hands-on bread-making lesson, learning the techniques for typical Cretan bread, made with wheat and barley flour. Then, witness their cheese-making skills using goat's milk from the farm. Next, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, helping out with daily farm tasks like feeding the goats, pigs, chickens, and rabbits, and tending to the gardens. The adventure continues with a snail hunt over the mountainside, exclusive to National Geographic travellers, peeking under rocks, and among shrubs and flowers. As the day unfolds, your collected treasures, including snails, eggs, fruit, and vegetables, become the ingredients for lunch. Alongside the family, you'll prepare a feast of local delicacies, all made from the products of your day's work. Finish off the experience with a taste of Crete's spirit, Raki, and why not sing along to their traditional Cretan ‘Mantinades,' - traditional Cretan couplets that express sentiments about Cretan daily life.
