Authentic Crete : Mountains And Shepherds

Enjoy a Greek coffee before heading up to the mountains.

Continue to a traditional mitato, a stone shepherd's hut hidden in the highlands. Here you will immerse yourself in authentic Cretan life : watch the milking of the goats, pick fresh vegetables from the garden, explore the shepherd's cottage and experience demonstrations of cheese making and the preparation of the sweet Kalitsounia pastries. Afterwards, a generous Cretan lunch with a variety of local specialities awaits you, including the famous Antikristo Lamb, slowly cooked according to traditional mountain style.

Your final stop is the historic village of Anogia, known for its proud traditions, craftsmanship and warm hospitality. Stroll through the charming streets, meet the locals and soak up the atmosphere before returning.

Your day begins in the island's rugged mountains with a visit to the impressive Sfendoni Cave, where thousands of years of natural art unfold in beautifully lit chambers. Admission is included.
