• Amnisiades Park - Welcome to Crete, a place where food transcends mere sustenance and becomes a ritual. Today, participants will not only prepare and savor Cretan cuisine but also embark on a journey back over 4,000 years to explore the origins of the Cretan diet in the Minoan civilization.
  From ancient legumes blended with honey and herbs to the traditional dishes found in every Cretan household, guests will discover how little has changed and how much heart remains constant.
  The Cretan diet, renowned as one of the healthiest in the world, traces its roots back to the Minoan era. The fundamental ingredients remain unchanged: oil, wine, honey, cereals, herbs, legumes, and meat are the defining elements of both the Cretan and Minoan diets.
  Participants will become acquainted with the cooking utensils used in ancient times, many of which are replicas of archaeological finds. All utensils are crafted from clay and are suitable for use over a wood fire.
  The setting for this Minoan meal experience is a unique energy location, thoughtfully constructed and decorated.
  Guests are welcomed with a brief guided tour of the estate, providing insights into everything they will encounter.
  This is a journey through the world of Minoan culture.
