Ashore Experience The food of Crete has been called “the heart and soul of Greek cooking.” It benefits from access to both mountains and sea, boasts incredible seafood, and features livestock grazing on fresh wild herbs and grasses. Set on a beautiful hillside, remote and private organic farm Peskesi is the ideal place for exploring and enjoying the cuisine of Crete, with a full-day immersive S.A.L.T. experience. Learn about sustainable farming, pick and taste ancient varieties of produce from the fields, and try local olive oils and wines, as you join others around the wood-fired hearth to try your hand at cooking some Cretan staples yourself. GREAT PYRAMIDS & GRAND EGYPTIAN MUSEUM | Selected Shore Excursion See some of Egypt’s outstanding attractions: The Pyramids of Giza, the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World; the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, the most important depository of Egyptian antiquities anywhere; and the Sphinx. Steeped in legend, the latter was either a monument to sun god Ra or to Pharaoh Chephren with the head of a man and the body of a lion, facing east, most probably to greet the rising sun and the return of life every day.
