Here is what's in store for you

Your tour starts with a drive through the spectacular Therisso Gorge, characterized by its stunning forest landscape, leading to the picturesque village of Therisso. Discover the historic significance of this "lost" village, explore the nearby Sarakina Cave, and envision life during the Minoan civilization. Indulge in the renowned "sfakiani pita" and a glass of raki or Greek coffee at a local kafenion. Stroll through Therisso village, a pivotal site in Crete's modern history, visiting landmarks such as the National Resistance Museum and Eleftherios Venizelos' headquarters.

Continue your journey through scenic mountainous landscapes, capturing the charm of untouched Cretan villages. Visit a family-run farm to sample regional dairy products and proceed to a slow food restaurant for a traditional lunch cooked over an open fire. Immerse yourself in local rural life by exploring a nearby farm before enjoying an organic feast. Discover Cretan vines in the restaurant's wine cellar, then savor the region's best honey at a family-owned business.

In the final leg of your adventure, relish local wine at one of Crete's premier family wineries, learning about indigenous varieties through a 3-glass wine tasting paired with local cheese. Conclude the day with the warm embrace of authentic Cretan hospitality as your guides drive you through the countryside for a final glimpse before dropping you off at your hotel.
