This tour takes you to one of the most isolated villages of Chania, near the region of Apokoronas in Chania, Crete. You will discover life in Crete in its purest form, bypassing many romantic villages, valleys and dizzy roads as you head to mainland Chania and off-the-beaten-path areas. You will stop at an elevated spot to understand the scale of the island and learn about Crete's past, followed by a visit to a traditional village with rivers and a stop for traditional organic sheep yoghurt with Cretan Honey by the riverside. Further, you will journey to more authentic villages to visit a Medieval Castle, a Chateau dating back to the Ottoman Empire, and gain insights into the Ottoman Rule in Crete. As you head inland, the scenery shifts to the desolate landscapes of the White Mountains, providing a unique look at the climate of Crete. The tour includes a stop to see possibly the oldest olive tree on the planet, a journey through a gorge, and a visit to Therisso village, accompanied by a professional historian guide to explain the region's historical significance and culture.
