Authentic Crete in Winter: Traditional Villages, Local Life & Tasting Experience

Start your day trip at the Minoan Farm, a beautiful place that shows traditional Cretan life. Taste local products, walk among aromatic herbs, and learn how beekeeping works. Try pure Cretan honey, known for its rich taste and natural health benefits.

Continue to a family winery, where you will walk through the historic FABRIKA cellar and see how local wine is made. In the vineyard garden, discover different Cretan grape varieties that grow under the Asterousia Mountains. Enjoy a wine tasting of four different varieties, each with its own story and character.

Next, visit the Monastery of Saint George Epanosifis, one of the largest and most peaceful monasteries in Crete. This quiet place is surrounded by nature and filled with history and spiritual charm.

End your tour in a traditional mountain village, where you will have free time to walk around, take photos, visit small shops, or relax in a local café. Lunch is optional and not included, but you can enjoy delicious homemade Cretan dishes if you choose.

This half-day small-group tour is an easy and comfortable way to experience real Cretan tradition, honey, wine, and village life during the winter.
