crete farm
Grecotel’s Agreco Farm gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘authentic experience.’ Founded by Grecotel’s owners on a 40 hectare site near Rethymnon in Crete, the fairytale estate recreates centuries-old farming methods in a traditional village setting. The farm provides a delightful and fascinating insight into the entirely organic production of the island’s simple and healthy food – a must for any visitor to Crete. Take a stroll to the local church in the village square, past the water mill that grinds the flour for the farm’s bread; watch the donkey-driven olive press, the treading of grapes for wine-making and the distillation of Raki. Children will particularly love the mini replica Noah’s Ark in the park with deer, chickens, sheep, pheasants, rabbits, doves and wild boar – as well as playing within the safe confines of the village square. No trip to Agreco would be complete without a visit to the farm’s Taverna, where a sumptuous six-course menu of Cretan dishes, based on the farm’s organic produce, is matched by the view over an amphitheatre of vineyards and olive groves to the distant sea beyond.
