Sea, mountain and traditional villages

Our route combines sea, mountain and traditional villages, and gives you an authentic taste of Cretan nature and life. This is not just another excursion. It is a compressed introduction to the Cretan countryside.

Forgotten villages in the middle of nowhere, gorges carved over the centuries, imposing mountains, forests with ancient trees, rivers and olive groves that create some of the best olive oil in the world.
