Kleinschalige familieboerderijen zijn essentieel voor het mediterrane dieet waar Kreta zo beroemd om is. Een lokale familie heet je welkom in hun Mitato, een kleine boerderij. En je wordt begroet met de oprechte warmte van de Kretenzische gastvrijheid. De lokale boer vertelt je het intrigerende verhaal over koning Minoas, die vanuit zijn waarnemingspost de boel in de gaten hield en de lokale bevolking waarschuwde voor de komst van piraten. Na deze eerste kennismaking is het tijd voor een workshop broodbakken. Je leert de fijne kneepjes van het bereiden van het typische Kretenzische brood dat uit tarwe- en gerstemeel bestaat.
Ook zie je hoe de geitenmelk van de boerderij wordt omgetoverd tot kaas. Daarna steek je de handen uit de mouwen en help je mee met de dagelijkse werkzaamheden op de boerderij. Denk hierbij aan het voeren van de geiten, de varkens, de kippen en de konijnen en het verzorgen van de tuinen. Dan begint het echte avontuur: je gaat op een heuse slakkenjacht op de berghelling, exclusief voor National Geographic reizigers. Je gluurt onder rotsen en tussen struiken en bloemen. En naarmate de dag vordert, worden je verzamelde schatten, waaronder slakken, eieren, fruit en groenten, de ingrediënten voor de lunch.
Samen met de lokale familie maak je een feestmaal van traditionele lekkernijen klaar, allemaal bereid met het resultaat van je inspanningen. Je sluit de dag af in stijl met een slok Raki, de lokale sterke drank. Voor je het weet lal je mee met de traditionele Kretenzische 'Mantinades' – volksliederen die bestaan uit rijmende coupletten die verschillende aspecten over het dagelijkse leven op Kreta verwoorden.

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.
