The Experience – What you’ll do
Overlooking the sea, not far from the mountains, in the embrace of nature by the river, our farm, Aspras Terra (the farm of the Aspras family), gives you a unique opportunity to relax strolling among aromatic plants, our fruit trees, our seasonal garden and our olive grove. All are taken care of by organic means and with a tireless spirit for sustainable management to honour nature and self-sufficiency in an area almost 30 acres in size.
Get to know the history of the estate since 1936. Learn about its traditional buildings and their uses, then and now. Learn how to collect and utilise the aromatic herbs and fruits of the estate and how to combine and taste them in the unique way of the Cretans’ daily diet! If Cretan music makes you want to dance, we will introduce you to real Cretan dancing! Enjoy hot or cold drinks from our organic products and taste true, unique Cretan hospitality.
Specific Details
At Aspras Terra, we offer a unique farm experience designed to be enjoyed in small groups, fostering a sense of community and shared exploration. Our farm experiences are typically conducted in groups of up to 10 individuals, allowing for an intimate and personalized experience.
Please note that unless you book a private group tour, you may be joined by other guests who are also eager to discover the beauty of our farm and immerse themselves in the Cretan countryside.
For those seeking a more private experience with friends or family, we offer the option to book a private group tour exclusively for your party. This ensures that you can enjoy the farm at your own pace, with the flexibility to tailor the experience to your preferences.
Whether you choose to join a group tour or opt for a private booking, we look forward to welcoming you to Aspras Terra for an unforgettable journey through nature, culture, and sustainable agriculture.
If you have any questions or would like to inquire about availability for private group bookings, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
