Picking Aromatic Herbs at Cretian Feast

In the organic fields of Cretian Feast in Apokoronas, Chania, Crete, visitors can join the seasonal aromatic herb picking — a deeply sensory and grounding activity in one of the island’s most botanically rich organic farms. Guided by the farm team, you’ll discover the aromatic treasures of the Cretan landscape. Cretian Feast was founded in 2010 in the village of Maheri in Apokoronas, Chania. In our product list, you will find a wide variety of herbs grown on the foothills of the White Mountains of Crete at an altitude of 400 meters, as well as many products based on these herbs, such as beeswax, essential oils, and waters in the form of sprays.
