点评:We spent an unforgettable day exploring Crete with Vangelis from Strata Tours. (I was very excited to meet him, as we had taken a similar tour with his Dad, Stelios, six years ago.) Vangelis’ warm and engaging personality captivated us, and we so appreciated that he shared many details about his life on Crete, especially about harvesting the olives in the early winter, social life for young people, Greek weddings, etc. It was like spending the day with a friend. We learned so much more from Vangelis than we ever could from a guidebook. After visiting an olive oil mill, we had a Cretan cooking class in a small traditional restaurant. Vangelis translated for us and cooked alongside us. We also visited his family home (for me the second time), and sat and talked with his Yia Yia, and learned about her family and history. We then went back to the restaurant to eat the delicious meal that we had prepared. It was a great day- our favorite experience in our six days on Crete. Highly recommend.
翻译:我们和 Strata Tours 的 Vangelis 一起度过了难忘的一天,探索了克里特岛。(我很高兴见到他,因为六年前我们和他爸爸 Stelios 一起参加了类似的旅行。)Vangelis 热情友好的性格深深地吸引了我们,我们非常感激他分享了许多他在克里特岛生活的细节,尤其是初冬采摘橄榄、年轻人的社交生活、希腊婚礼等等。感觉就像和朋友一起度过了一天。我们从 Vangelis 那里学到的东西比从旅游指南中学到的要多得多。参观完橄榄油厂后,我们在一家传统的小餐馆参加了克里特岛烹饪课。Vangelis 为我们翻译,并和我们一起做饭。我们还拜访了他的家(对我来说是第二次了),和他的 Yia Yia 坐在一起聊天,了解了她的家庭和历史。之后我们回到餐厅享用了我们亲手准备的美味佳肴。这是美好的一天——这是我们在克里特岛六天中最美好的经历。强烈推荐。
