In a world dominated by speed and stress, slow living — the art of living at a slow, intentional pace — offers a breath of relaxation and a meaningful connection with ourselves and the environment. Arevitis Farm, located in the beautiful village of Vafes in Chania, is the perfect place to experience this philosophy through an authentic agritourism experience.
It’s the opportunity to live your day in harmony with the natural rhythm of the earth, without rush, focusing on small, precious moments.
Imagine waking up at first light and starting your day by caring for and feeding the animals — offering food to the baby goats and chickens, and collecting fresh eggs from the coop. Then comes the milking — a calm and gentle process that deepens your connection to the land and its creatures.
Next, you’ll head to our organic garden to plant or harvest vegetables, feeling the soil and gathering the fresh ingredients we’ll later use. During the traditional cooking session, we’ll prepare together dishes like dakos with tomato and mizithra, kalitsounia, or trachanas with fresh farm milk.
During your visit, you’ll feed the baby goats, collect eggs from the chickens, and feel a real connection with the animals of the farm — an experience that brings peace and empathy.
Traditional cooking becomes a chance for teamwork, meaningful conversations, and laughter around the table, creating memories that last a lifetime.
Our farm operates with sustainable practices: we use organic fertilizers, collect rainwater, and respect the natural balance of the environment. In this way, we not only protect the land, but we also offer our guests the sense that they are part of something greater — a life cycle that honors nature and tradition.
This approach helps reduce stress, boost creativity, and allows you to be truly present in every moment. It also deepens your understanding of where food comes from and of traditional ways of life, reviving your connection with the land and the community.
At Arevitis Farm, slow living isn’t just a motto — it’s a way of life.
We invite you to experience this unique journey, to savor simplicity and authenticity, and to create memories filled with peace, meaning, and gratitude.
Come feel the rhythm of nature, leave behind the daily rush, and find your own pace in the magic of Crete.
Book your visit today and give yourself the time and space to breathe, to connect, and to be filled with beautiful, genuine moments.
