Itinerary
Personal Pick Up
Enjoy a personal pick-up with a premium vehicle at your full-day disposal, at any defined time of the day. Your private day tour will start with a memorable journey to the heart of the East Crete by following bespoke itineraries off-the-beaten-path.
Kritsa Village
The first stop will be in an ancient Cretan village, an authentic center of weaving art that is famous for its textile shops and unique folklore collection. There your private local insider guide will provide you with key pieces of information and engage you with the authentic local lifestyle. The next neighbor's village is famous for its traditional Kafenion shops (Café), delicious award-winning oil, abundant fruits, and vegetables. Thus, that would be the right cozy spot to enjoy your coffee with tasty local fruits. You will also have the opportunity to be guided in the historic Church of Panagia Kera.
Krousta Ancient Forest
Afterward, you will explore the ancient forested region of the mountainous South-Eastern Crete. There you will make a memorable photo-stop at the highest peak of the region - an amazing spot for observing both the Libyan and Cretan Sea at the same time! Following, you will enjoy an authentic Cretan breakfast in a stunning uncharted place under the shade of ancient plane trees and surrounded by lush green and refreshing springs. This is the spot where only the local shepherds enjoy taking their breakfast.
Lassithi Uncharted Paths
The next stop will be in one of the most beautiful wild gorges of East Crete. A least-trampled paradise and easy-accessible for relaxed hiking with your private local insider. Inside the gorge, you will explore wildflowers, Cretan Golden eagles and the Cretan wild goat known as the Agrimi or Kri-Kri, and many other hidden gems of the Cretan nature. Not to mention that you can also bath in the breezy fresh-water waterfalls of the gorge!
At the end of the day, in order to relax and regain strength, you will be taken to a quaint beach of the Libyan Sea (South-Eastern region) with its emerald blue waters, craggy coastline, and my coves. There you will receive the best recommendations for a delicious lunch in one of the local fish taverns, with freshly caught seafood.
