“Traditional Harvest” day!

On Saturday, August 4th, a “Traditional Harvest” day was held in Creta Maris Beach Resort.

Our aim:
• introduce the traditional Cretan rural work to the guests,
• highlight the island’s long tradition in grape growing and winemaking.

The ritual began from the Creta Maris vineyard, where guests and employees collected grapes from the vineyard (harvest)…

…transfer them in a traditional way, with the donkey…

…on the winepress for the production of grape must…

…and then its distillation to produce tsikoudia (raki) & grape must jelly.

All actions were followed by music, dancing, and delicacies, features of the Cretan hospitality!
