Chania 3rd day: Sustainable Business

9.30: Manousakis Winery "Products of Cretan land for kids and adults, example of sustainable development" 
A family vision and much work turned the small vineyard nestled in the foothills of the mountains to a thriving winery which exports its products all over the world. Organic cultivation of the vines, well organized and scientific production, guided tours and activities, a hospitable place for pick-nicks or feasting events give an example of a modern open-minded and sustainable business! 

11.00: Antonakis Synergatiki S.A. Citrus and Avocado Company "Cretan land products for locals and foreigners, example of sustainable development" 
"This company originally aimed at the packaging and marketing of citrus fruits under the brand name Creta Star. In 2000, it was the first company in Greece to invest in avocados, creating an exclusive packaging line for avocados. Later in 2007, started to produce organic fruit for all kinds of fruits it was already producing." The last innovation and success story of this company is the organic cultivation of aloe-vera and the production of the full of benefits aloe-vera beverage!

12.30: Agia Lake "The hydroelectric dam and the lake's aquatic ecosystem" - activities 
The artificial lake of Agia was "created" by the Greek Public Electricity-Power Corporation for the production of hydroelectric power. The factory started to operate in 1928 and the old facilities can still work. The lake hosts many species of domestic flora and fauna and it is also the refuge for many migratory birds. - Lunch at Lake Café

17.00: Visiting the Tombs of Venizelos: Panoramic view of the city at sunset from a location with a strange name. Historic aspects of this picturesque place.
