Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries Eco-Agritourism Network Seminars Celebrating the International Year of Biodiversity Available Dates: April 19-25, 2010
Join us on the beautiful isle of Crete, Greece for a fantastic 6-day program exploring Crete's cultural and natural treasures. Resident ecologists, historians, musicians, chefs, farmers and artisan food producers will guide us on a journey of discovery of Crete's heritage. We'll visit villages inhabited since the Minoan era (over 4,000 years), renowned for olive oil and wine production. Crete is home to over 2,000 plants, 10% of which are endemic to the island. Spring is the ideal season to enjoy a vast array of wildflowers in the countryside. Superb organic wine and cuisine featuring the bounties of the season are on the menu. Our presentations are private and tailored for our small group. Attendees have an opportunity to discover sustainable living practices that can enrich their lives while supporting programs that help preserve Crete's heritage. This is a wonderful opportunity to support locally-run preservation projects while learning!
