Experience the Life of a Cretan Shepherd – A Unique Hands-On Tour

Discover the authentic traditions of Crete with this immersive shepherding experience. Step away from the usual tourist paths and into the island’s stunning countryside, where you’ll take part in the daily life of a local shepherd.

Start your day by milking sheep in a peaceful farm setting, learning the proper techniques from an expert shepherd. Using fresh milk, dive into the art of cheese-making over an open fire, crafting traditional Cretan cheeses like Mizithra or Graviera. Roll up your sleeves in a hands-on cooking workshop to prepare Kalitsounia, Cretan cheese pies, using fresh ingredients and traditional methods.
