Agrotourism Crete – Traditional Farm Tour in Chania with Cheese Making & Tasting
I’m Nikos Pontikakis, a local shepherd in Kampos Kerameon, and I invite you to experience Agrotourism Crete through an unforgettable traditional farm tour in Chania. Discover the art and heritage of livestock farming in Crete and get closer to nature and tradition.
Your Cretan food tour begins with a look back in time, as you learn how sheep were milked by hand, without the use of modern machinery. Under my guidance, you’ll even get the chance to try it yourself and create a hands-on connection with the island’s traditions.
Next, with the fresh milk you helped collect, you’ll watch the cheese-making process unfold before your eyes. I’ll share the secrets behind crafting warm, fresh cheese — and best of all, you’ll taste it straight from the source.
Your Agrotourism Crete experience continues with an introduction to animal care. Learn how we feed and look after our sheep with love and dedication, and understand what it takes to keep our animals healthy and happy.
The tour concludes with a warm local treat: a rich tasting of homemade cheeses, accompanied by Cretan olive oil, aromatic honey, and traditional tsikoudia – a true celebration of the island’s flavors.
Join us on this unique traditional farm tour in Chania and create memories filled with taste, tradition, and the essence of the authentic Cretan countryside.
