20th February 2012 extreme winter walking in Crete

Monday 20 February 2012: Our hiking tour through the Hohlakies gorge will take about 4 hours. It is a beautiful hike, there is only one disadvantage: it is a one way track, so we will have to walk the same trail back: the gorge ends at the sea front. This walk is a bit challenging, so we advice you to wear good hiking shoes!

Weekly Greek Music festival: during the winter you are welcome to enjoy every Friday night Greek live music night at Zorbas Island. You are welcome from 21.30 o’clock. Every week a different Greek band will play Greek music. We offer you Greek mezedes (small plates with different Greek specialties) from our wood oven. This music night is a culture night with Greek dancing and music from Crete and Greece. The musicians play and sing acoustic with instruments from Greece: lira, lauta, gitar, mandoline and bouzouki. In the summer we organize regular Greek live music night at sea. You are very welcome!

Thursday 23 February 2012: winter darts night at Zorbas Island. You are welcome from 19.30 o’clock, the start of the darts competition is at 20.30 o’clock.

18th February 2012 Winter BBQ in Crete

 

Geschichten aus Kreta: Ouzo? Wir wollen Raki! Bei Griechenland denkt jeder zuerst an Ouzo - der Werbung zufolge DAS Nationalgetränk. Falsch! Auf Kreta sieht das natürlich ein bisschen anders aus. Hier ist das Volksgetränk Nummer Eins der Raki. Eigentlich logisch. Nach dem Stampfen der Weinbeeren (oft mit bloßen Füßen) um den Saft herauszupressen, bleiben Traubenreste übrig - zum Wegswerfen zu schade. Früher wurde mit Mühlsteinen auch noch der letzte Rest Flüssigkeit aus den Trauben gepresst, und die Traubenschalen mit dem Saft zusammen in einem Fass für 6 bis 8 Wochen vergoren. Dann wurde das Ganze in einen großen Kupferkessel geschüttet und darin wurde der Raki destilliert. Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch die "medizinische" Verwendung des starken Getränks. Zahnschmerzen? Ein paar Mal am Tag mit Raki spülen. Erkältung? Brust mit Raki einreiben und warm halten. Grippe? Warmen Raki mit Honig trinken. (Nach zwei Gläsern davon vergisst man dann, dass man krank ist...). Heutzutage werden die Traubenreste an Destillerien. Hier auf Kreta heißen diese "Kazani", nach dem großen Kessel, in dem destilliert wird . In jedem Dorf findet sich so eine Brennerei. Der Brennmeister berechnet nicht viel für das Destillieren, meist einen Anteil des Rakis. Von Ende Oktober bis in den Dezember hinein sind die Brennereien geöffnet um alles zu verarbeiten. Das Destillieren ist ein Prozess von vielen Stunden - und wird meist gesellig verbracht. Die ganze Familie kommt mit, Freunde werden eingeladen oder schauen vorbei um zu gucken. Ein Grill wird befeuert und aus jedem Auto kommt etwas zum Vorschein: Kartoffeln, um sie in die Glut zu legen, Oliven, Tomaten, Feta, Fleisch für den Grill. Aus einem anderen Auto holen Leute eine Lyra oder eine Laute zum Vorschein, die traditionellen kretanischen Instrumente. Die Gesellschaft prüft den "Protoraki" - diese erste Raki ist so stark, dass er fast als Treibstoff dienen könnte! Schnell trinken, sonst verfliegt er! Hitzig wird die Qualität diskutiert. Der von Opa Kostas letzes Jahr war besser! Onkel Giannis findet seinen eigenen Raki besser. Manolis holt die Lyra heraus und spielt zum Tanz auf. Mitmachen ist Pflicht!
Jeder, der sich in dieser Zeit auf Kreta aufhält, sollte einmal in einer Rakibrennerei vorbeischauen. Die Besitzer zeigen immer gerne, wie der ganze Prozess funktioniert und lassen Sie gerne ein Getränk probieren... die Chance, dass Sie vor Mitternacht wieder zuhause sind, ist allerdings nicht sehr große, denn die kretanische Gastfreundschaft ist einfach einmalig!

Kokkini Hani: Mandolin Kafenion (Zorbas Island)

Dolphins around Crete: we take our guests on many boat trips and many times we are asked if we are going to see dolphins? Yes, it is definitely possible, but we can’t guarantee it! There are dolphins in the sea around Crete, but you have to be lucky to see a dolphin.  In the Knossos Palace are several old paintings of dolphins. Dolphins were seen more then 3.500 years ago around Crete!  During the past years, we have spotted dolphins on several occasions. The most impressive, but also most frustrating time was during a diving session. It was a lovely day: not a lot of wind, a temperature around 28 degrees and a calm sea. Unexpectedly, 10 to 12 dolphins jumped up in the air around our boat towards the diving location. All our camera’s and diving equipment were in the boat’s storage area, so we were not able to take pictures. This impressive scenery lasted about one minute, as if the dolphins wanted to show us: we are smarter then you, you are too late to take a picture! And we were….. It was a beautiful sight! Afterwards, we quickly went in the sea from our diving location, but we did not see another dolphin. The feeling of seeing so many dolphins at once was exiting!

On our way to Heraklion Airport, on the old national road, we once saw a lot of cars parked at the seaside. A large group of dolphins jumped up from the water for about 2 to 3 minutes, but you probably already guessed: we forgot our camera!!

We were able to shoot some photos of dolphins during a boat trip to Dia Island. You really have to keep your camera ready during this boat trip! On a sunny day in June we could make about 3 good photos, but you need a bit of luck! Also this week we made some beautiful photos of dolphins. Hopefully, we are able to spot a lot of dolphins this year around Crete!
