Qué te espera

El islote deshabitado de Elafonisi, en el suroeste de Creta, rebosa de belleza natural y riqueza cultural. El desfiladero de Topolia, la cueva de Agia Sophia, el monasterio de Chrissoskalitissa y una playa que muchos consideran la mejor de la isla son algunos de los atractivos más destacados de esta excursión de un día. Rena, una de nuestras guías locales, comenta: "Esta excursión combina lo mejor de las tierras altas de Creta con la idílica playa de arena rosada de Elafonisi en la costa sur".

Comenzaremos el día de forma relajada, con una parada para tomar un café en una taberna familiar en la aldea agrícola de Voulgaro. Desde aquí, nos espera un espectacular viaje en coche hacia el sur a través del desfiladero de Topolia. Las vistas del profundo barranco a nuestra izquierda son épicas. A continuación, visitaremos la cueva de Agia Sophia, famosa por sus estalactitas. Vinculada a diversas leyendas, se dice que aquí se puede encontrar la huella de la pezuña del caballo de San Jorge. Y si buscamos con atención, encontraremos lo que parece una huella de herradura en una roca.

El siguiente punto de visita es el monasterio de Chrissoskalitissa. Este lugar de retiro de 1000 años de antigüedad, construido sobre una colina con vistas a la costa, ofrece un encanto atemporal. Su nombre significa "escalones dorados" y está impregnado de mitos. Según algunos, uno de los escalones es dorado, pero solo lo pueden ver los religiosos. El último puerto de escala es digno de una postal. Rena dice: "Se puede llegar al islote de Elafonisi caminando por un tramo de agua poco profundo desde la playa de Elafonisi". Pase la tarde nadando, relajándose y disfrutando de las vistas de primer nivel, luego terminaremos el día en el pueblo pesquero de Paleochora.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Discover Cretan Farm Life

Small-scale, family-run farms are integral to the Mediterranean diet that Crete is so famous for. A local family will welcome you to their Mitato, a small farmhouse, where you'll be greeted with the genuine warmth of Cretan hospitality. Listen to the local farmer tell the intriguing tale of King Minoas who watched from his observatory, and alerted locals to incoming pirates. Greetings over, it's time for a hands-on bread-making lesson, learning the techniques for typical Cretan bread, made with wheat and barley flour. Then, witness their cheese-making skills using goat's milk from the farm. Next, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, helping out with daily farm tasks like feeding the goats, pigs, chickens, and rabbits, and tending to the gardens. The adventure continues with a snail hunt over the mountainside, exclusive to National Geographic travellers, peeking under rocks, and among shrubs and flowers. As the day unfolds, your collected treasures, including snails, eggs, fruit, and vegetables, become the ingredients for lunch. Alongside the family, you'll prepare a feast of local delicacies, all made from the products of your day's work. Finish off the experience with a taste of Crete's spirit, Raki, and why not sing along to their traditional Cretan ‘Mantinades,' - traditional Cretan couplets that express sentiments about Cretan daily life.
