During this action, the guests were informed about the art of cultivation through the personal experiences and memories of a hotel staff member.
Lately, the guests had the chance to participate in a wine tasting of the indigenous varieties of the island that are maintained by producers participating in the Futouris Project. During the wine tasting, the Creta Maris’ staff created a friendly atmosphere, and the participants had the chance to discover the secrets of the production of the Cretan Wine and to smell its fragrances and feel its multifaceted taste.
The aim of this double action was to introduce one of the most ancient Cretan rural work to the guests, while also to inform them about the initiatives of developing sustainable nutrition structures in Crete.
The participation of the guests was noteworthy, giving them a valuable experience of the Cretan lifestyle, culture and traditions.
