What you can expect

Full Description

Historic Views & Village Life Begin at the Koules Fortress in Aptera, offering panoramic views over Souda Bay and the Apokoronas valley. Learn about this strategic stronghold before heading to the peaceful village of Armenoi. Here, enjoy a traditional Greek coffee under a centuries-old plane tree and help select the local cheeses that will feature in your afternoon feast.

Ancient Traditions Visit the Monastery of Agios Georgios at Karydi to explore its charming grounds and a 200-year-old stone olive mill. This is a timeless reminder of Crete’s heritage, where you will collect fresh monastery olive oil. We then stop at a traditional wood-fired bakery in Georgioupoli to gather warm, freshly baked bread and rusks, completing your farm-to-table selection.

The Riverside Picnic Conclude your day at Platanakia, beside the refreshing Kiliaris River. Under the shade of plane trees, enjoy a relaxed riverside picnic featuring your gathered treasures: local cheeses, olives, monastery oil, traditional delicatessen, and local wine—exactly like the simple, authentic meals shared by locals during the olive harvest season.
