Activity Description

This tour takes you to the unknown inlands of east Crete, starting from the woods near the sea and 'climbing' up the high mountains of the area, from where you will enjoy breathtaking views of both the Aegean and the Libyan sea. On this memorable day you will walk along old Minoan paths, through the biggest forest of the island, encountering small waterfalls and plenty of olive trees and goats. At lunch time, you will be entertained by your local host at a secluded spot far away from civilization, where you will experience what the Cretan hospitality is all about.
