(TRAVPR.COM) GREECE - September 12th, 2013 - Aiming to introduce the traditional Cretan rural work to the guests while presenting the Cretan culture where manual labor is a cause for celebration, Creta Maris organized another Cretan action. The ritual began by collecting the grapes from the vineyard (harvest), and transfer them in a traditional way, with the donkey, on the winepress for the production of grape must, and then distillation of the grapes in order to produce raki as well as grape must jelly. All actions were followed by music, dancing, and delicacies, features of the Cretan hospitality.

The participation of the guests in the harvest and pressing of the grapes was noteworthy, giving them a valuable experience of the real Crete. That is the aim of the resort by organizing these Cretan actions, to offer experiences of the local way of living that may be difficult for the guests to experience during their short stay on the island.
