Ce qui vous attend

Si la petite île de Spinalonga ne se trouve qu'à un jet de pierre de la Crète, sa visite vous fera remonter le temps. Les remparts qui l'encerclent renferment des siècles d'histoire. Découvrez-la à travers les yeux d'un habitant du coin avec cette visite à la journée comprenant également deux villes côtières de la baie de Mirabello. Veta, l'un de nos guides, explique : "Vous visiterez le joli village de pêcheurs d'Elounda et la ville balnéaire d'Agios Nikolaos. Vous goûterez aussi à la cuisine crétoise typique dans une taverne".

Spinalonga a incarné bien des choses au cours de son existence, notamment un avant-poste vénitien et une ville ottomane. Elle a même été une colonie de lépreux, d'où son surnom d'Île des oubliés. Aux côtés de notre guide local, vous marcherez le long de ruelles étroites bordées de maisons abandonnées sans toit et vous visiterez la forteresse et la colonie, qui a fermé dans les années 1950. De plus, vous éviterez les foules en arrivant tôt sur le premier ferry de la journée.

Plus tard, vous rentrerez par le village tranquille d'Elounda, avec du temps libre pour explorer à votre rythme. Profitez-en pour nager, vous allonger au soleil ou regarder le monde passer dans une cafétéria familiale. Il sera l'heure de rejoindre une taverne voisine pour déjeuner crétois. La journée se termine par une visite d'Agios Nikolaos, une ville côtière chic abritée par deux îlots au large. Nombreux sont ceux qui se dirigent vers les bars qui surplombent le lac côtier bordé de bateaux.

    Maria our guide was absolutely wonderful, she told us so much about the island & was very friendly. She really brought history to life. 20 mins by boat, Spinalonga is walkable but definitely not for wheelchairs. Lunch & free time at Elounda - set menu - 5 dishes to share for starters, then moussaka or veggie option of stuffed tomatoes and potato (which we had) all very tasty. Then on to agio nikolias another beautiful harbour town for shopping and relaxing with a quick ice cream. Fabulous day

    It was a well organised and informative trip. Just the right amount of time in each location. Our guide Athena was very friendly and informative. We enjoyed it very much and would very much recommend it.

    The boat crew and guide were fine. The Island itself was ok. The travelling took too long as widespread hotels were included in the run. The stops at seaside villages were just there to encourage shopping and were of no interest to me. The reminder email from TUI stated that I should bring swimming gear, but there was no opportunity on the trip to use it, so carrying it all day was a waste of effort. The food at the lunch stop was good.

    The guided tour was brilliant. Could have done with another hour in Ag Nikolaos though. By the time we walked from the parking place it was a 10 minute walk each way so we barely had time to see anything.

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Millenary History of Olive Oil

Approximate itinerary and duration of activitiesIntroduction - 15 minutesWalking tour through the olive trees - 30 minutesPause for questions and raki drink - 15 minutesOlive oil factory tour - 40 minutesOlive oil tasting and questions - 55 minutesCooking demonstration and tastings - 30 minutesPlease note the order of activities may vary at your guide's discretion With millennia of experience behind them, it's no wonder the people of Crete produce some of the finest olive oil in the world. You will appreciate the timeless bond between Cretans and their revered olive trees as you trace the long heritage of olive cultivation on the island. Just outside Kritsa village in the hills of eastern Crete, you'll follow Nikos Plevritakis on a brief walk to his olive groves where some trees are 600-800 years old, and learn about olive cultivation from a true specialist. In the shade of the olive trees, you can try local raki known as ‘tsikoudia' with olives to nibble on while discussing the cultural and societal significance of olive cultivation in Crete. Then it's time to visit a local cooperative factory, to see up close how olives are processed into world-class olive oil. Back on the Olive Path, seize the chance to taste fresh figs, almonds, and grapes, see what the locals are growing, and find out all about the Cretan lifestyle and diet. Then, at an olive farm, you can sample olives, fresh tomatoes, and raki before your olive oil tasting session begins – a great opportunity to learn how to taste oils like a professional and compare the flavor profiles of different varieties. Finish off the day with a cooking lesson on various ways to use olive oil in Cretan cuisine. Authentic dishes, such as tzatziki and Greek salad will feature, and you'll find out why the traditional Cretan diet is so beneficial to health and longevity.

People & Culture

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.
