Petit groupe : Knossos, Huile d'olive, Winery & Raki avec déjeuner
Description
Cette visite en petit groupe offre un avant-goût bien équilibré de la Crète – à la fois littéralement et culturellement. Votre journée commence au palais de Knossos, cœur de la civilisation minoenne et légendaire labyrinthe du roi Minos. Bien que les frais d’entrée (non inclus) et les guides Certifiés soient facultatifs, vous aurez du temps libre pour explorer les ruines et vous imprégner des mythes. Ensuite, voyage dans la campagne crétoise pour un arrêt dans un domaine local d'huile d'olive. Découvrez les méthodes traditionnelles et modernes, suivies d'une dégustation d'huiles haut de gamme. Ensuite, visitez une cave familiale et une distillerie de raki pour déguster des vins indigènes et du tsikoudia, l’esprit signature de la Crète, tout en découvrant des techniques de distillation séculaires. Nous terminons la journée par un déjeuner crétois dans une taverne du village, où les recettes locales, les ingrédients frais et le vin de la maison offrent un goût de véritable hospitalité. C'est une journée d'histoires, de saveurs et de rythme insulaire détendu, exactement comme il se doit en Crète.

Itinéraire
Le palais de Knossos, merveille de l’âge du bronze en Crète, fut le centre de la civilisation minoenne (2000-1400 avant notre ère). Ce complexe tentaculaire de 20 000 mètres carrés présentait une architecture avancée, une plomberie ancienne et des fresques vives comme la scène du "Bull-Leaping", reflétant la culture minoenne. La « salle du trône » et la disposition labyrinthique suggèrent une signification religieuse et administrative, inspirant peut-être le mythe du Minotaure. Fouillées par Arthur Evans, ses reconstitutions partielles permettent aux visiteurs de découvrir directement la plus ancienne ville d’Europe. Site archéologique incontournable, Knossos révèle l’innovation et l’art minoens bien avant la Grèce classique. (598 caractères)
**A Taste of Crete: Exploration d'une ferme d'oliviers** Visiter une oliveraie crétoise est un voyage dans les anciennes traditions de l’île. En flânant parmi des arbres noueux et centenaires, vous sentirez le lien profond entre la terre et des générations d’agriculteurs. Des guides bien informés expliquent la récolte, le pressage et l'importance culturelle de l'huile d'olive – révélant comment des méthodes séculaires répondent aux techniques modernes pour créer de l'« or liquide ». Le clou ? Une séance de dégustation sensorielle. Vous goûterez des huiles vierges extra fraîches, en notant leurs arômes, leurs saveurs (de fruité à poivré) et leurs teintes dorées, souvent associées à du pain croustillant, des herbes ou du fromage local. De nombreuses fermes vendent également leurs huiles, vous permettant d'emporter un avant-goût de la Crète. Plus qu’une simple visite, c’est une immersion dans un mode de vie intemporel, où la qualité et la durabilité prospèrent. Un must pour les amateurs de gastronomie et de culture!

We decided to do a wine tour at the last second in the morning of our tour. Mr. Yanni was able to pick us up from our hotel and take us to the Tatakis winery as the original winery was not able to fit us in with our last second booking. Yanni was amazing conversation to the winery and we had such a fantastic time. Would highly recommend Yanni and LocalTrips4U for anyone wanting to drinking some amazing Cretan wine and have a great time!

Amazing experience, from arrival the staff at the winery were great and very pleasant. The tour was good and a lovely experience. The tour operator could do better with providing notice a bit early with regards to time of pick up, say two hours before or a day before. But the driver who picked us up was very good and had a decent AC!

A very well organised and great few hours wine tasting. The hosts are very welcoming and our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. The vineyard itself was stunning with magnificent views and wines!!
Due to bad weather, we only had one full day in Crete. Having seen the waterfront areas of Hersonissos, we booked this afternoon tour to see more of the inland areas. The Winery was wonderful, with delightful tastings and a knowledgeable tour of the vineyards. The views were lovely too. So glad we went!
The friendliest of faces greeted us on this gem of a find so close to Heraklion. We felt a world away here with incredible views and wines! If you're looking for a venture out from the town you must give them a visit. You won't be disappointed!
