Le piccole aziende agricole a conduzione familiare sono elemento fondamentale della dieta mediterranea per cui Creta è così famosa. Una famiglia locale ti accoglierà nel suo Mitato, una piccola fattoria, con il calore genuino dell'ospitalità cretese. Ascolta un contadino raccontare l'intrigante storia del re Minoas, che scrutava dal suo osservatorio e avvisava la popolazione dell'arrivo dei pirati. Terminati i saluti, è il momento di una lezione pratica di panificazione, per imparare le tecniche del tipico pane cretese fatto con farina di grano e orzo.
Poi, osserva la loro abilità nel preparare formaggi con il latte di capra della loro fattoria. Sarà il momento di rimboccarsi le maniche e darsi da fare, aiutando nelle attività quotidiane della fattoria, come dare da mangiare alle capre, ai maiali, ai polli e ai conigli e curare i giardini. L'avventura continua con una caccia alle lumache sul pendio della montagna, un'esclusiva riservata ai viaggiatori di National Geographic, cercando sotto le rocce e tra arbusti e fiori. Quanto raccolto nel corso della giornata, comprese le lumache, le uova, frutta e verdura, diventano gli ingredienti per il pranzo.
Insieme alla famiglia ospitante, preparerai un pranzo di prelibate specialità locali, tutte realizzate anche con i prodotti del tuo lavoro. Concluderai la giornata con un assaggio dello “spirito di Creta”, il raki e perché non cantare con le loro tradizionali "Mantinades", i tradizionali distici cretesi che esprimono sentimenti sulla vita quotidiana dei cretesi.
