Activity itinerary

Fourni

1h 20m

From your preferred pickup point, our skilled guide will be ready to transport you on a one-hour journey to the heart of our first destination. This driving time provides you with the perfect opportunity to soak in the surrounding views and prepare for the memorable exploration that lies ahead. Together we meet on our way astonishing mountain landscapes, hidden ancient churches with frescoes located in the mountain valleys, a traditional, but not a touristic village, where local people gasp when they see an unfamiliar car, it is so unusual for them to see "strangers" here (here we will have the opportunity to taste real Greek coffee in a real Greek kafeneio - well, let's try to pretend we are locals!)

Moni Aretiou

1h

Next stop is in medieval Monastery called Aretiou. It is located in very quiet area, surrounded by rocks and 12 old cypress trees. You can walk around to see its interior and meet very friendly monk Father Evmenios.

Plaka Marina- boot Spinalonga

2h 20m

Ahead of us is a place called Plaka - it is a small fishing village, but with a huge soul and long history filled with interesting facts! On the way to Plaka the guide is telling us history facts about Spinalonga island which is opposite to the village. After that we will have a free time for a delicious lunch with fresh seafood in one of the best taverns in the area and time to dip into the clear Cretan Sea. Just next to the tavern there is an excellent beach with crystal clear water - however, the entrance here is rocky, so better be prepared! Special shoes for swimming will be a good choice!

Agios Nikolaos

2h 20m

Our fabulous journey ending up with a stop in a very romantic and picturesque town of Agios Nikolaos. Here you can wander along its tiny streets, visit authentic souvenir shops, walk near the coast or just enjoy a cup of aromatic coffee in a cozy cafe! After soaking in the final moments of our journey in Agios Nikolaos, our guide will usher you back to the car for our journey home. We'll head back to your initial pickup point, a drive of approximately one hour. As the landscapes slip by, you'll have ample time to revisit the day's experiences in your mind and relish the unique moments that this journey has offered you.

Kritsa Village

1h

Kritsa is a charming and traditional Cretan village located near Agios Nikolaos (15 min away). During this visit, guests will get to immerse themselves in the local culture and history as they explore the village's narrow streets, quaint homes, and beautiful churches.
