Discover the healing aromas and timeless traditions of Crete with a unique experience at Fabrica Farm, a serene agrotourism estate nestled in the lush landscapes of Apokoronas, Chania.
Our Herbal Garden Tour invites you to walk through our lovingly cultivated garden, where you will explore a rich collection of Cretan native herbs such as dittany (diktamos), sage, thyme, oregano, malotira (mountain tea), and more. Alongside these native treasures, you'll also encounter other carefully selected Mediterranean varieties, each with its own story, aroma, and healing property.
During the tour, our local guide will introduce you to the traditional uses of each herb – from ancient remedies and culinary secrets to their spiritual and cultural significance. Touch, smell, and even taste the herbs while learning about sustainable cultivation and the unique biodiversity of the island.
Enhance your visit by combining this herbal experience with a hands-on Olive Oil Soap Making Workshop, using the traditional cold method passed down through generations. You'll create your own natural soap with extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs, and essential oils – a creative and soothing process that reflects the purity of the Cretan way of life.
The experience includes:
- ✔ Guided tour of the herbal garden with insights into each plant’s traditional uses
- ✔ Introduction to Cretan herbal medicine and folklore
- ✔ Optional Olive Oil Soap Workshop
- ✔ All-natural ingredients and personalized handmade soap to take home
- ✔ Relaxed, educational atmosphere in a beautiful countryside setting
This is more than a tour – it's a journey through senses, tradition, and nature. Whether you're a nature lover, wellness enthusiast, or simply curious, this experience will leave you inspired, refreshed, and connected to the land.
Reconnect with nature, create with your hands, and carry a piece of Crete with you.
