- The Shepherds Shelter - Nestled high in the mountains, where time seems to slow, a Shepherd invites visitors into his world. Guests explore the farm, meet the animals, harvest fresh vegetables, and milk the goats—embracing the natural rhythm of life in the wilderness. Under the shade of thick stone walls, fresh milk is warmed to handcraft traditional cheese, and ‘Kalitsounia Pie’ is prepared for dessert.
As the fire crackles, the renowned ‘Antikristo’—slow-grilled goat—is cooked to perfection, accompanied by homegrown flavors, crisp greens, and handmade cheeses. Each bite captures the essence of Crete, while every sip of homemade wine shares the stories of the land. The aroma of ‘Kalitsounia Pie’ drizzled with honey fills the air, alongside the sweet taste of seasonal fruits and a shot of Raki.
When it’s time to depart, the Shepherd’s farewell resonates: May you travel well, and may you be as strong as the high mountains!
