Into the Crete with the English Patient
4 h
About this activity
The tour with a professional local guide starts from Siena and goes along the road to the Crete with their martian landscapes, following the crests of the Crete hills until a proper movie set, the stunning monastery of S.Anna in Camprena where Ralph Fiennes (actually Count Laszlo Almàsy) spent his last days. Then, the close hamlet of Castelmuzio will give you a full immersion in the olive oil production with a proper degustation of this Sienese speciality, so special and so “spicy”. With the full-day option you will also visit the hidden village of Petroio, where you'll discover the ancient art of terracotta in a proper open air museum directly from a craftsman’s mouth. A lunch in Castelmuzio is also included into the full-day tour.
