What you can expect

  • Begin your day with pickup and head towards the inland region of Apokoronas, an area known for its greenery, traditional villages, and strong cultural identity.

    Your first stop is Aptera, where you are welcomed with panoramic views over Souda Bay. This elevated viewpoint offers a striking introduction to the landscape, combining history with a sense of openness and calm.

    Continue to Vryses, a lush village often considered a hub of local production. Here, experience the authentic processes behind traditional cheese-making and olive oil production, gaining insight into two of the most essential elements of Cretan gastronomy. Taste local products and connect directly with the flavours of the region.

    In the historic village of Vamos, the experience shifts towards heritage and hospitality. Walk through its streets, visit a local monastery, and experience a traditional Cretan welcome, including raki, paximadi, and olives.

    Returning to Vryses, slow down under the shade of plane trees. At a local café, enjoy Greek coffee prepared in the traditional way, accompanied by Sfakian pie, a delicate and distinctive local sweet.

    The final stop takes place in the village of Maza. Here, visit a historic Byzantine church before concluding the experience at a local tavern, where traditional kalitsounakia (sweet cheese pastries) are served, offering a warm and authentic ending to the day.
