Activity itinerary

Begin your experience with a warm welcome of Cretan raki. Learn about the history of the area and the way of life, in the mountain of Psiloritis and discover the world of the Cretan shepherd. Take part in the traditional process of cheesemaking and milking or sheep shearing, two essential parts of pastoral life in the mountains. Join a hands-on cooking workshop, where you will prepare traditional cheese pies under the guidance of an experienced member of the family. Later, under the shade of apple trees, cherry trees, and a large plane tree, the stone table is set. A traditional mountain food tasting awaits you, with wine aged at the family mitato or craft beer from local producers. For our little guests we offer orange juice. Conclude your experience with the traditional cheese pies we prepared together, sprinkled with local honey or sugar, and moments of relaxation while enjoying the cool mountain air of the Nida Plateau, in the shadow of mighty Psiloritis.
