Welcome to Gavdos Unfiltered—a nature-centered retreat designed for those yearning to break free from the conventional and dive deep into authentic Cretan island living.
Your journey begins with a scenic ferry ride from Sfakia to the southernmost edge of Europe: Gavdos. As we cross turquoise waters, the bustle of modern life begins to fade behind you.
Upon arrival, we swap transport for trails—hiking from the secluded cape of Tripiti to the tranquil cove of Korfos. Along the way, you'll be immersed in Gavdos’s wild landscape: juniper forests, ancient cedar trees, and sweeping sea views.
In Korfos, enjoy a slow, soul-nourishing lunch at a traditional taverna, where the food is local, the pace unhurried, and the hospitality heartfelt. We then continue to the historic lighthouse, a perfect place to witness one of Greece’s most spectacular sunsets—an experience made even more special with a locally sourced drink in hand at Sarakiniko beach.
Evening brings stillness. You’ll have time to reflect, journal, or simply be—whether you choose to rest or explore the village rhythm on your own. Autumn asleep to the sound of waves, and wake to the scent of the sea.
After a nourishing breakfast, we make our way to one of Gavdos’s hidden beaches. Swim, sunbathe, or lie in the shade—this time is yours.
