KION.SEP. “Crete Hinterland – Inland” is dedicated to promoting the cultural heritage, gastronomy, local produce and sustainable development of the Cretan countryside through educational, cultural and tourist activities. At the heart of this endeavour is Cretan Gea, an experiential space dedicated to Cretan cuisine, nature and traditional knowledge. Our philosophy is based on authenticity and the use of pure, local produce: olive oil from our own olive trees, vegetables and wild greens from our garden, as well as fresh herbs picked just before cooking. Visitors actively participate in the entire process, from gathering the ingredients to preparing and sharing the food. At the same time, through activities such as traditional workshops, interaction with nature and agricultural experiences, we offer a comprehensive introduction to the Cretan way of life. Our aim is to create authentic experiences that connect people with the land, food and culture of Crete.
Our participation in the epaithros+ Cluster reinforces our vision for the promotion of cultural heritage, local cuisine and the sustainable development of the Cretan hinterland through collaborative and innovative initiatives.
