Cosa aspettarsi

Bumping along the mountain tracks of Crete, where the island's mythology, flora, fauna and local life come alive. This is a day with scenic trails, traditional villages and authentic local experiences. Christos, one of our expert local guides, says “this tour is a wonderful way to experience the real Crete, where village life, nature and traditions have remained unchanged for generations.”

First up, we'll head into the mountains, following winding roads with breathtaking coastal views as we make our way to the traditional village of Mochos, where locals gather in the square to enjoy Greek coffee and watch the world go by. Next, we'll stop at an olive oil factory in Potamies, where you'll learn about the production process and enjoy a tasting of this local delicacy. We then continue to a small local farm, where you'll have the chance to meet and feed goats and experience rural life up close.

After a stop at a 14th-century monastery, with the option to visit its small museum, we'll continue to a viewpoint overlooking the sunken village of Sfendili, a unique and fascinating sight. Then it's time to visit Krassi, a picturesque mountain village known for its craft shops, historic stone washbasins and its impressive 2,000-year-old plane tree. Here, you'll have free time to explore the village life and culture that has remained largely untouched by time.

Rethymno daytrip from Matala and Agia Galini
Excursions & day trips

Rethymno daytrip from Matala and Agia Galini

Rethymno lies pinched between the Mediterranean Sea and the foothills of the White Mountains on Crete's northern coast, and if its history doesn't have you making a beeline for it, its looks will. Its reputation as one of Greece's most beautiful towns is well deserved. You'll get some top tips from the guide on your bus to Rethymno, but after drop-off, the full day is yours to explore. Wander through a honeycomb of cobbled alleyways, find the three-lion-headed Rimondi Fountain in the heart of the old town and keep an eye out for the scattering of domes and minarets which hint at the town's Ottoman influence. But no visit to Rethymno is complete without visiting the harbour, then climbing the Paleokastro Hill to look out to sea from the Venetian Fortress – the pride of the town.

You could even spot the endangered Cretan Goat, the Kri-Kri. Cap off your adventure with a visit to the fishing village of Agia Roumeli and a relaxing dip in the Libyan Sea, followed by a scenic boat trip along Crete's dramatic south coast.
