Raki is the national drink of the Cretans. It is served almost naturally after every meal, and there is often the opportunity to drink raki. There is always a glass of raki when the Cretans greet their guests, wish each other, gather in the traditional cafes, overcome their worries, and resolve their struggles. The purpose is not to be drunk or overwhelmed with food, but to simply create a pleasant social interaction. The raki is made in the autumn after the grape harvest, when the vines have been pruned. Raki is obtained from the press residue of the fresh grapes during winemaking, the pomace, by distillation. The raki is clear and contains on average between 30 and 40 percent alcohol by volume
For the early birds Zorbas Island organises sun rise walks. See the sun rise above the mountains while enjoying an early morning walk through the olive fields and villages.
Learn how to cook Greek dishes during the (multiple day) cooking workshops on Crete
Easter in Greece, or Pascha, is the most significant religious and cultural holiday, celebrated with solemn Holy Week rituals, midnight Resurrection services, and a joyous Sunday feast. Families gather to break a 40-day fast with lamb, red-dyed eggs, and tsoureki bread, marked by candlelight, music, and fireworks, often in rural villages
Spring on Crete: many flowers are blooming and the temperature is nice. Sun and some showers. Great time of the year to do outside activities!
Explore the inland of Crete with a jeep. We drive a lot off-road during the jeep excursions organised by Zorbas Island. This way you see a part of Crete where you otherwise wouldn't come.
