​​Friday – Olive Oil &  Distillery

​

In the morning, we visit a family-run olive oil producer, learning how generations have tended the same groves.

​

In the afternoon we meet Giannis at Peroulakis distillery. He is talking about Raki, the unique drink of Crete and taches us to make Raki with Honey

Saturday – Rest, Walk & Gather

We begin with a slow morning at the villa, with time to rest, read, or sit with coffee, followed by an easy walk into the village and down to the sea at our own pace.

​

In the evening, we gather back at the villa for a homemade dinner and music, a simple night shared together.

Sunday – Monastery & Old Town Rethymnon

​

In the afternoon, we walk through Rethymnon’s old town, moving slowly through its narrow streets before ending the day by the harbor.

Monday – Art, Taste & Tradition

We spend the morning by the sea for a watercolor art session inspired by Cretan life and light.  You'll have a personal souvenir to remind you of your week of experiences.

In the afternoon, we visit Vegera Farm, where we learn to cook with local ingredients and old recipes — hands-on, warm, and shared.

We end the day gathered around the table with local musicians from the village, eating, drinking, and singing the way Cretans do — with joy that comes straight from the heart.

In the afternoon, we visit Dourakis Winery for a tasting surrounded by vineyards and mountain views — a quiet celebration of Crete’s land and people.​​​​​​

Wednesday – Farewell Morning

We share our farewell breakfast in the village before saying our goodbyes.

We leave Crete with the scent of thyme, the echo of bells, and a feeling of connection that will stay long after the week has passed.
