Description
Good to Know
Discover the authentic heart of Crete on a relaxing countryside journey through historic sites, traditional villages, and beautiful natural landscapes. Visit the hilltop Koules Fortress of Aptera for breathtaking panoramic views over Souda Bay, explore charming local villages, and stop at a historic monastery to learn about Crete’s olive-oil heritage.
Along the way, collect fresh local products from village producers and a traditional bakery before ending the day with a peaceful picnic beside the cool waters of the Kiliaris River. Surrounded by nature and shaded by plane trees, you’ll enjoy local cheeses, fresh bread, olives, olive oil, and wine—an authentic farm-to-table experience inspired by traditional Cretan countryside life.
