Overview

    We have been born and bred in the South Crete (in Messara Plain) for more than three generations. So, the Cretan lifestyle runs in our veins.

    Along with my grandmother & my mother, we would love to guide you in our way of life and make you feel like a member of our family! We will visit our family's olive groves and greenhouses. We will share with you every detail we know about the extra virgin olive oil and the products we cultivate. And the best part comes to the end... My grandma will show you live how we make cheese and you will have the opportunity to taste warm mizithra (kind of cheese)! Moreover, you will enjoy a traditional picnic, rich in flavors and with the company of the Cretan nectar: our precious raki! Our picnic will takes place under the shadow of a big olive tree located in our family's olives groves.

    All in all, we want to make you feel like a local Cretan and immerse you in our culture and spirit!

  • All Fees and Taxes

  • During our picnic you will have the opportunity to drink our family's raki!

What to Expect

    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.
