The Venetian Experience in Crete

The Venetian Experience in CreteWalk into the past through your 7-day trip to Crete in Venetian history. “I, Pietro Querini from Venice, have promised myself to write down exactly, for the memory of posterity, the adversities that have befallen me and the places where they have happened to me according to the dispositions of the wheel of fate.

You must know that for the desire to acquire honor and riches, things we men never have enough, I threw myself into the enterprise of setting up a ship for a trip to Flanders, investing my belongings.

On April 25, I left Crete to embark on that journey that would have been very bitter and full of misfortunes. My state of mind was, as anyone can imagine, sad for the loss of my son, and full of pain, as if it were already a premonition of the many and unbearable misfortunes that would come”. 

Pietro Querini (Venice, 1400? – 1448) was an Italian merchant, navigator, and Venetian Republic senator. He was a member of the powerful Querini family and a member by right of the Maggior Consiglio della Serenissima. Querini was Lord of the fiefs of Castel di Temini and Dafnes on the island of Candia (Crete), famous for the production of Malvasia wine, which he traded especially with Flanders. On 25 April 1431, he sailed from Candia to Flanders aboard the carrack Querina with 800 barrels of Malvasia, spices, cotton, wax, rock alum, and other valuable merchandise, amounting to approximately 500 tonnes.

During this tour, we will revisit the places where Querini resided. We will search for the materials used to construct the ship for his long journey. Additionally, we will visit castles and indulge in the renowned Malvasia wine of the season. Our itinerary will include observing Venetian architecture amidst old Venetian mansions and the Querini’s fountain.
We will delve into the history of the siege of the Great Castle (Heraklion), the longest siege in the world that lasted 22 years, and also appreciate the grand monuments that serve as reminders of the past. Furthermore, we will learn about this adventurous seafarer who linked Europe with his unfortunate voyage.

Day 3. IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF QUERINI – COOKING CLASS BACALHAU – SKORDALIA 

Cod became part of Greek cuisine in the 15th century and soon became a staple food, especially on the mainland where fresh fish was scarce for the impoverished residents, except for those living on the islands. Its pickling properties made it a cost-effective and easily preservable food, leading to the start of the salted cod trade, referred to as the “fish of the mountain” at the time! The Cretans named it “poor John” due to its affordability, preservation with salt, and long-lasting taste and nutritional value. In the Ionian Islands, skordalia is also known as aliada or agiada, influenced by the Venetian language (agliata in modern Italian). The term “garlic” originated from the combination of “garlic” and “aliada,” eventually leading to the term “skordalia.”

Breakfast – Dinner

DAY 4: VENETIAN ARCHITECTURE AND OLIVE OIL TASTING 

The enduring influence of Venetian architecture on Crete serves as a testament to the island’s rich and diverse history.

Exploring these architectural treasures provides a glimpse into Crete’s past, unveiling the lasting impact of Venetian rule and the island’s remarkable ability to incorporate various influences into its cultural fabric. As Crete looks to the future, preserving and cherishing its Venetian architectural heritage remains essential, ensuring that this captivating chapter of its history continues to inspire and enthrall future generations.

In our classic olive mill tour and tasting, we talk about our growing and harvesting methods, the quality of our olive oil, and how to understand olive oil labels. Most unique, our mill is the only factory in Greece where visitors can explore how two innovative production methods work to produce exceptional quality extra virgin olive oil: one artisanal pioneering stone mill & hydraulic press and the other modern experimental cold extraction.

The Gemma Quirina, the ship in which Pietro Querini left for Flanders, was built in Candia/Crete with cypress wood, a very common substance on the Greek island.
We will learn about the way the ship was built and the materials used in this very old art.

The Patriarchal Monastery of Agia Triada Tsagarolon is one of the most important monasteries built during the end of the Venetian Empire in Crete and a great contributor to the history and education of the island. It is located on the foot of the Stavros mountain chain, in the area “Tzompomilos” of Meleha cape. According to tradition that is also confirmed by documents from the archives of Venice, it was built by the brothers Ieremias and Lavrentios Tsagarolon who came from a great Venetian-Cretan family and had a powerful influence on the Orthodox population and the Catholic Venetians.

Souda is the name of the small island that stands like a guard at the entrance of the Gulf of Souda. On this island, the Venetians built a castle in the 16th century which later, when the Turks came, was proved one of the most enduring fortifications in Greece. The name of the gulf and the island derive from the Latin sudes meaning “narrow pass”.

Malvasia, a renowned grape variety, has a long history in winemaking, with its origins dating back to ancient times. Its spread was facilitated by the Mediterranean trade routes along the coast. In 1431, Pietro Querini departed from the port of Candia to trade various goods, including Malvasia, in Flanders.

The Fortress of Temenos or of Nikephoros Focas it is the most important Byzantine monument in Crete. It is located on a hill 16km south of Heraklion, close to the village of Profitis Elias. In 1204, when the Genoan pirate count of Malta and pirate Enrico Pescatore conquered Crete, he either founded or repaired 15 fortresses to ensure his grasp of the island. One of these was the fort of Temenos when the Venetians occupied Crete in 1209, they fortified Temenos with stronger walls and repaired it according to the technology of that period. The fort, which was characterized as oppidum fortissimum (powerful fortress) was named Castello Temene and was granted as a fief to the families of Coressi, Kornaros (Corner), and Querini.

After breakfast drive north direction Meteora with a stop on our way to Thermopylae.
Meteora is a must-see on any trip to Greece.
Here are some of the most ancient, active monasteries on all of Greece, and they are perched miraculously atop the mountains along the Pinios River. Meteora where we step and see the world famous Byzantine monasteries that are perched precariously on summits of grey rock pinnacles of varied and beautiful shapes. Their history goes back to the 14th century when the monks sought refuge in the Cliffside caves then fled higher to build the original wooden shelters, later transformed into monasteries. Meteora where the fantastic and breathtaking Byzantine monasteries are perched on top of huge grey and reddish pillars. Monks seeking isolation and spiritual salvation first built those monasteries in the 14th century. They are veritable Byzantine museums exhibiting superb icons, old manuscripts and unique mosaics and frescoes.
Accommodation Kalambaka
(Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)

Day 4. MAINLAND / DELPHI

(Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)

Day 5. MAINLAND – PELOPONNESE: DELPHI / GALAXIDI / PATRAS / OLYMPIA
Breakfast and a visit to the Museum and the ancient site of Delphi.
Delphi-the ancient sanctuary of Apollo. We will gain a greater understanding of the Greek religious heritage and their influence on the early Christian church. We visit the museum where we will marvel at the site of the Charioteer, a bronze statue so delicate we will see his eyelashes. We will see the Temple of Apollo and the Castalia Springs Ending the visit we drive west the southern coastal line of Mainland and from the mainland, we drive south direction to Peloponesse.
Ending the visit we leave Delphi and through Galaxidi / Nafpaktos / Antirion – Rio we pass to Peloponnese and ancient Olympia. Olympia is situated in a fertile valley full of splendor surrounded by hills and light green forests. The incense and the holy atmosphere of the surroundings along with the classical architecture of the ancient buildings make this place unique in the world. Accommodation Olympia
Accommodation OLYMPIA
(Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner)

Day 6. PELOPONNESE: OLYMPIA / PYLOS
From Olympia, drive 2 hours and reach Pylos, a Mycenaean capital, and palace, the traditional home of Nestor (from Homer’s Odyssey), located near the modern city of Pylos. A visit to the old Navarino castle and you will enjoy the wonderful panorama that unfolds in front of you, the view from Palaikastro hill is unique in all directions. Dinner at local restaurant with a variety of local specialties.
Accommodation Pylos.
(Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)

Day 7. PELOPONNESE: PYLOS / AGIA THEODORA AT VASTA / SPARTA.
From Pylos, drive 2 hours and reach the little church of Agia Theodora at Vasta. Why visit this little church? In the green-clad gully, near Vasta village, there certainly has been a miracle.
Whether it is created by God or nature we are unable to tell. On the roof of the small church of Saint Theodora seventeen bigger and smaller trees (Holm-oaks, maples and other) have grown in an impressive way embracing and supporting the temple. Their roots are invisible both on the outside and in the inside of the church. Perhaps they run through the stone-built walls and constitute a miracle of nature, perhaps, a Devine’s hand has woven and maintained their clustering. Lunch at the near restaurant with a variety of local specialties. After lunch drive direction Sparta where we accommodate.
Accommodation Sparta
(Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)
Sparta: the pride, simplicity, duty, courage, strength of the Spartan-led to the legendary Thermopiles, the most heroic battle of all seasons. Native soil of brave Sparta has fought against many invaders and is considered the cornerstone of resistance throughout the centuries.

Day 8. PELOPONESSE: MYSTRAS / NAFPLION / MYCENAE / EPIDAVROS/ ATHENS.
Mystras: The one time capital of Byzantium, the medieval town of Mystras is mounted on Taigetos’ slope. It is protected by an impregnable fortress (the Kastro), which was built in 1249 by the Frankish prince Guillaume de Villehardouin.
Morning, Mystras, the Byzantine acropolis, the monasteries of Lakonia the bare and wild slopes of Mani, and Sparta. Ending the visit we do one and a half hours drive north direction Nafplion. Lunch at Nafplion.
After lunch, we drive 20 minutes to Mycenae to visit the archaeological site and the museum. The Mycenaean civilization flourished during the period roughly between 1600 BC when Helladic culture in mainland Greece was transformed under influences from Minoan Crete, and 1100 BC, when it perished with the collapse of Bronze-Age civilization in the eastern Mediterranean.
Continue 1 hour to Epidaurus to visit of the archaeological site and the 2,300-year-old Theatre of Epidaurus, famous for its acoustics.
