Cretan Farm Tour with Cheese-Making & Picnic with Cretan Vibes
Overview
We were raised and grew up in Mesara Plain, the heart of South Crete, where the essence of Cretan living and diet begins. Rooted in a legacy of generations within a rural family, we hold the knowledge of age-old farming secrets and its countless benefits.
Alongside my mother, we would love to guide you in our way of life and make you feel like a member of our family. Immerse yourself in our world; visit our farm, wander through our olive groves, and explore the greenhouses that whisper the story of our heritage.
The highlight? A live cheese-making demonstration by my mum, featuring the time-honored art of crafting mizithra. Experience the warmth of freshly made cheese, a flavor passed down through generations. Indulge in authentic Cretan cuisine prepared by my mum, and perhaps, meet more family members!
Beyond an experience; it's an emotional journey deep into Cretan culture. We want you not just to observe but to become a part of our traditions—a cherished chapter in our story.

What To Expect
We carefully designed this tour for those who wish to see Crete through the eyes of a local family!The journey begins with an engaging walking tour in our sustainable family olive groves and greenhouses. Discover the secrets of olive cultivation, the meticulous process of harvesting, and the art of producing the finest extra virgin olive oil.
Explore how we cultivate with sustainable way our land & greenhouses, learn about the variety of vegetables, herbs and fruits grown, and understand why these local products hold significance not only for local markets but also for the rest part of Greece.
