ROOTS & ROUTES

We begin our journey at a unique botanical garden created with love by a small-scale local farmer, home to a rich collection of endemic Cretan plants. Through playful, hands-on activities in the nature, families discover local herbs and their medicinal and edible uses, taste fresh fruits straight from the trees, and experience the island’s biodiversity in an interactive and engaging way. The visit ends with delicious Cretan treats prepared from the garden’s ingredients.

We delve into Crete’s ancient past with a visit to a Minoan site, where we learn about the island’s first great civilization through engaging storytelling.

We conclude at the impressive Fortress of Aptera, enjoying breathtaking panoramic views while exploring the layers of history that have shaped Crete over the centuries.

This day guarantees a perfect blend of play, exploration, nature and history in the beautiful Cretan countryside.
