Visit the local producers
The essential four of Cretan Nutrition. We will visit the people who continue a centuries-old tradition.:
Herbs
Natalia collects the herbs from the natural world that surrounds us, and makes teas with them. The sea salt comes from the local salt pans and she smokes it or she mixes it with lemons from her garden. Her orange-lemon jam is delicious. Using carob pods, she makes a very nice carob syrup, the most natural and organic sweetener you can find!.
