## ITINERARY

### Preparation and gear briefing

Arriving in the entrance of Kourtaliotiko gorge, we are immediately amazed by the majestic walls that stand hundreds of meters high. We take the stone steps that lead us to the source of the river that formed this scenery through the ages. There, we can visit the little church of S. Nicolas Kourtaliotis, the local saint that lived here as a hermit, and learn about the old myths of the gorge. We take some time to put on our neoprene suits and our personal gear, distributed by the team leaders. Then, the instructors will give a safety briefing so that we can understand the use of our gear and learn to trust it. Now we are ready to get the fun started!

### Canyoning games in the river

The source of Kourtaliotiko river becomes a natural playground for us! Feel free to rappel down the steep canyon wall next to the waterfall and try adrenaline jumps in the water as many times as you wish. We swim around, we take pictures and we play like kids! Our specialized instructors and guides will be next to you at all times to ensure your safety and guide you through the different activities.

### Short river trek

Our adventure continues further down the river. Hiking towards the south, we soon discover a small cave called “the fairy cave” – if you are lucky enough, you may see one	 hiding behind the stalactites and stalagmites! We will hike for about half an hour more to find the best spot for our next stop.

## ITINERARY

### Description of our trail

The path in the gorge begins just below the village of Imbros and the path to the entrance to the gorge is clearly marked. Inside, the trail descends gently down the gorge towards the south. It is never steep and not particularly difficult, but like everywhere in Crete, the path is stony, so we have to be careful where we put your feet.

As we continue inside the gorge, we can notice that it is small in height as well as in length, so we are always right next to the slopes and cliffs and we have a much better opportunity to observe the unique plants and flowers nearby. Thankfully, since the gorge is quite narrow and there are a lot of trees, we will be accompanied by shade most of the time!

The flora of the gorge is rich and it is surprising that between so many rocks where there is no soil, various trees grow; in particular lianas, rare herbs and all kinds of herbs, with the exception of cypresses, azylakous, wild fig, agriomygdalias, olive trees, wicker and shrub with aromatic sage.

The rarest Cretan plants grow in ravines or on steep mountain slopes, such as Ebenus cretica, Linum arboreum (flax), Campanula pelviformis (bellflower), Staechelina arborea and Petromarcula arboreum. The flourishing plants we will probably observe in the plains and high peaks are the Tulipa bakeri and the saxalite Tulipa (tulips), tge Anchusa caespitosa (alcanet), the Scabiosa alborincta and theScabiosa minoana (scabiosa). The fauna is presented in a semi-wild form, with various species of birds like partridge, Kotsifi, thrushes, hawks, crows, eagles and other rare species of wild birds.

After about 90 minutes of walking from the entrance to the gorge, we will pass an impressive stone arch on the right; this marks almost the end of the hike and, if we’re feeling exhausted, we can stop here and return to our starting point to have lunch. If we continue after that, we’ll observe that the gorge widens a bit and after about 15 minutes we will arrive back on the road and at the village of Komitades, where we will find many taverns with traditional Cretan flavors, in order to enjoy lunch and relaxation after this beautiful hike.

Finally, after lunch, we will be driven by a local back to our transfer vehicle in the entrance of the gorge, in order to start our visit to Chora Sfakion.

Chora Sfakíon or simply Sfakia is a town on the south coast of Chania in West Crete. It is the capital of the remote and mountainous region of Sfakia, and is a small town of almost 300 inhabitants. It lies on the south coast near the exit of the imposing Imbros Gorge, 74 km south of Chania. It has two small harbours.

There is a quiet local beach, called Vrissi, just west of the village, and several pebbly beaches nearby.

## ITINERARY

### Reaching the top

Conquer Psiloritis, the highest summit of Crete, at 2456 meters! According to greek mythology, the Olympian god Zeus was raised on these slopes. The Psiloritis mountain range is listed as both a Unesco Global and a Unesco European Geopark because of its unique flora and geological features. Hike through a variety of landscapes on your way to the top in only three hours and be rewarded with a spectacular view over Crete!

We will enter the Psiloritis National Park, which is at the same time also a Unesco Global Geopark, and will ascend through a unique scenery which was formed millions of years ago when the tectonic plate of Africa started pushing itself under the European plate and this forced the southern edge of the European continent out of the sea. Gradually the flora will become more scarce on our drive to the Refuge "Lakkos tou Mygerou" at 1600 meters. We follow the Strata of Psiloritis which hundreds of people follow during a special event at the end of August every year. 

The first part will feature a rather steep climb, but the morning freshness, regular breaks and, if needed, slow pace will make everyone feel comfortable. After about two hours we will join the path coming from the Nida Plateau and we will be just underneath the Agathias Peak, with 2424 meters, the third highest summit on Crete. From here we take turn to the right and start an easy walk of one more hour to reach the top of Psiloritis, the highest point of Crete (2456 meters), also called Timios Stavros. From here we will enjoy a splendid view over all mountain ranges, the Aegean sea and on clear days even Santorini on the north side and the Libyan sea and Gavdos island on the south side. After our picnic at the chapel on the top we will return to our starting point and drive to a traditional taverna... we need to refill our batteries after all. This trip takes you back to your accomodation quite early so you'll have time to relax after and enjoy this great experience in your minds and hearts.

## ITINERARY

### A small beautiful village

We will start our tour by visiting a beautiful well-hidden village, Margarites. The tradition of pottery has been an integral part of this village for many generations; there are lots of locals who still keep the tradition alive, up to this day, by transforming the traditional practice of pottery into modern art. In Margarites, we will meet our friend Yorgos, a local, who will show you how the pots are hand thrown. A demonstration of his art will follow, that will certainly stay “carved” in our memory. The village itself has a unique architecture and some lovely narrow winding streets, making it worth being explored. So, let’s wander through the quiet village of Margarites, enjoy the hundreds of colors that lie before our eyes and then enjoy a traditional coffee at a small “kafeneio”.

### Feel the sanctity of Arkadi

After a 25' drive, we will continue to the religious and historical part of our tour. The goal is to become familiar with the Cretan culture and its religious customs. The Arkadi monastery is perhaps the best known monastery in Crete, due to its history of the Holocaust in 1866. However, its location and impressive architecture make it all more special. For everyone who visits the Arkadi monastery, the feeling is unique; serene and quiet, but also emotionally powerful. Dedicated to Saint Constantine, the church of the monastery is just exceptional. The monastery in general is full of flowers, so many that it is impossible to list them all, but the rose garden especially is extraordinary. Let’s not skip the museum chambers as well; there, we will find many photographs of historically important people, such as Hadjimichalis Giannaris, who during the revolution helped to ignite the patriotism and the anger of the Cretans. We will escort you to explore this magnificent monument, discuss about the history and less-known stories, but, since our guides are not official state guides, it is forbidden for them to give tours inside historical monuments. If you wish to have an official history guide, we will be happy to book one for you upon communication!


### Let’s explore the nature of Crete

Next up, is the gorge of Patsos. A small yet magnificent gorge, which begins at Ano Assites, is the necessary part to complete this excursion. The whole area around the gorge is of particular natural beauty. In the gorge, we can see rare species of flora and fauna, which are protected by the European legislation. As we walk onto the beautiful path, we will meet the attraction of the cavernous church of St. Anthony inside the rocky walls, which used to be a former temple of Hermes. If we want, we can stop at this point or even sooner, and head back for our return. If not, continuing from there, we will follow the trail to the ‘Potamon” dam. On the sides of the gorge there is an observation deck for birds in the area as well. During the biggest part of our hike, there is enough shadow and water to keep us cool; also, the feeling of walking under so many trees and next to running waters is unique! Usually, to complete the route, we will hike for about 3 1/2 hours, but depending on the weather and the physical condition of the travelers, we could hike more or less. It’s really up to you to choose how much walking we will do! It is also up to you to pick your favorite place to have a pic-nic with the best Cretan snacks and some wine or raki.When we decide to return, we follow the same path and end up at the starting point of the gorge.

- Surrender to the breathtaking view of the bay of Rethymnon in the north,
- Admire the White Mountains to the west and Psiloritis to the south
- Be assisted by an experienced guide throughout the hike


## ITINERARY

### Walk in Maroulas

The possibilities for walking and discovering outside of Rethymnon are numerous and at the same time so close! For this hike accompanied by a English-speaking guide, a short trip of 20-30 minutes outside Rethymnon is sufficient to reach the surroundings of the village of Maroulas and find yourself in the middle of nature. The village itself is well known for its ancient Venetian houses (a number of them have been renovated by lovers of old stones!) Indeed, the Italian bourgeoisie often had secondary houses built on the heights of Rethymno; important trade point during the Venetian occupation. Note that it is possible for us, before or after the hike, to discover the village if you feel like it. 

The hike itself begins after passing the village when we find ourselves surrounded by nature, far from the crowded places and with breathtaking views of the region; Rethymnon Bay to the north, the White Mountains to the west or Psiloritis to the south. We take the shepherds' paths but also part of the E4, the European hiking trail. During this loop of approximately 11 km, we cross several valleys which will sometimes allow us to have very clear views in height, sometimes to find ourselves in the middle of wild vegetation or vines. From experience, the only crossed living beings are either sheep or goats, or their shepherds because we are on their working land! And who knows? With a little luck, we might be invited by one of them returning from work, to drink a raki or to taste fresh cheese of the day with him ?! One of the magic of hiking and hospitality in Crete ...

If you are looking for tranquility, a change of scenery but also the discovery of the interior of Crete, this is a day for you! Note that the last part of the hike allows us to discover part of the sumptuous valley of Amari, a wild and uncrowded land which was many times the refuge of the Cretan resistance during the tormented history of the island...

At the end of the day, we will find the village of Maroulas and our vehicle.

Please note: Hiking shoes, sun protection (hat, cream, etc.) and water reserve sufficient because no drinking water point provided on the route: minimum 1.5l to 2l per person in depending on the season. Correct physical condition recommended. Accessible to children over 12 years after discussion with our team

Private Tour to the White Mountains and Samaria from Above

For those who prefer to rent a boat with a skipper, an experienced skipper is available. You can choose one of our recommended tours, which we have carefully planned out for you, or we can organise a tour as you wish!

### AGIOI PANTES (KRI-KRI ISLAND)
Right across the port of Agios Nikolaos you can visit the uninhabited island of Agioi Pantes.  The island is a natural breakwater for the port of Agios Nikolaos. The church of Agioi Pantes, which gave its name to the island, is located at the top of the island.  The island is a shelter for the endangered species of Cretan mountain goats, called “Kri-Kri”.  

You can enjoy amazing dives in the island’s white-sand beach.

### ELOUNDA - SPINALONGA
You can admire Spinalonga island up close. This beautiful island is located across Plaka village, 800m off the coast. When the Venetians occupied Crete, they built a fortress on the island, which survives to this day. Spinalonga served as a leper colony from 1903 to 1957. It is a remarkable monument of World Cultural Heritage and is worth visiting! The island’s history was a source of inspiration for many movies and Victoria Hislop’s best seller “The Island”. 

Ideally, you can combine your excursion to Spinalonga with swimming in Kolokytha, one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. Its turquoise-dappled waters will amaze you. 

Don’t miss the pathway that takes you from the beach to the church of Agios Loukas and the Byzantine chapel of Agios Fokas, which was built to honour the Emperor Nikiforos Fokas for the liberation of Crete by the Arabs in 961 A.D.

We recommend sailing towards Agriomantra, a beach that is found at the exit of Agriomantra’s gorge and is of outstanding natural beauty. Tamarisk trees offer natural shade, while there are barbecues and benches to have a picnic on the beach.

## ITINERARY

### A unique monastery

The day begins in the region of Rethymno; after 1 hour of driving from the centre, we will visit a historically important Cretan monastery. In a lush landscape, full of beautiful flowers, trees and aromatic herbs, the Vosakos monastery lies before our eyes, stone-built and magnificent. The one and only nun left in the monastery, will be waiting inside to welcome us with her kind smile and a delicious loukoumi treat. We can stay for some time to enjoy its traditional architecture and the calm atmosphere; in the meantime, we will learn all about its tumultuous history.

### The shepherd's pastureland

At the entrance, three huge trees create an impressive door that welcomes us to their land. Mr Andreas, the shepherd, is there to "kalosorisei" us (kalosorisma = greeting) and show us what a day in his life is like. Learn about his routine, daily habits, milk production process and caring for the goats while you try some typical Cretan appetizers such as cheese, olives and a glass of raki. But the best part is here to come; be prepared to watch a herd of 100 goats flow freely out of their stockyard and dash towards the high hills. This powerful moment is guaranteed to stay in your memory forever.

### Cretan honey and beekeeping

Next up and depending on the period, we will either visit a different spectacular landscape where all the flowers bloom and burst their refreshing aromas, or stay on spot; but, what we will witness is the important part. There, Ms Eleni, a traditional Cretan woman and wife of the shepherd, Mr Andreas, will demonstrate to us her mastery on beekeeping, passing from generation to generation. We will wear bee-keeping uniforms, while Mrs Eleni shows us the honey extraction procedure with her bare hands! As she has been mastering this art for years, her bees are like her children; she is so close with them, that there is no need for a uniform. In this very informative -and delicious- stop of our tour, we will learn everything about the production of real thyme honey.

### Cretan Hospitality, eat with us

An integral part of the Cretan tradition is the warm hospitality of the locals. After having shared their daily habits and their mastery secrets, Mr. Andreas and Mrs. Eleni open their house to us. Situated high up in the mountain, with beautiful and calming views of the village, this house is buried between flowers, trees and herb bushes. While we enter, their aromas will certainly captivate our senses. As we have a seat, Mr Andreas opens a bottle of wine and offers us a glass, while Mrs Eleni finishes up the lunch she has prepared especially for us. Enjoy the taste of local organic products and finish the meal with a delicious dessert, such as sweet cheese pies (pitakia) with honey on top. Enjoy!

### Explore the rest of the village

After lunch, we will be guided to the centre of the village Apladiana, one of the most ancient and traditional villages, which still adheres to all the Cretan customs. On our way, we will cross a field full of orange trees; let's stop and enjoy the overwhelmingly sweet and fresh smell. Depending on the period, out guide will cut a few oranges with his bare hands and offer them to us. This experience of the taste and the smell accompanied by the image of the beautiful and tall orange trees, creates an unforgettable memory. Once we arrive at the village's square, we will finish the tour by discussing some of the Cretan customs, such as where and how the famous Cretan weddings take place in the traditional villages of Crete.

### AGIOI PANTES (KRI-KRI ISLAND)
Right across the port of Agios Nikolaos you can visit the uninhabited island of Agioi Pantes.  The island is a natural breakwater for the port of Agios Nikolaos. The church of Agioi Pantes, which gave its name to the island, is located at the top of the island.  The island is a shelter for the endangered species of Cretan mountain goats, called “Kri-Kri”.  

You can enjoy amazing dives in the island’s white-sand beach.

### ELOUNDA - SPINALONGA
You can admire Spinalonga island up close. This beautiful island is located across Plaka village, 800m off the coast. When the Venetians occupied Crete, they built a fortress on the island, which survives to this day. Spinalonga served as a leper colony from 1903 to 1957. It is a remarkable monument of World Cultural Heritage and is worth visiting! The island’s history was a source of inspiration for many movies and Victoria Hislop’s best seller “The Island”. 

Ideally, you can combine your excursion to Spinalonga with swimming in Kolokytha, one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. Its turquoise-dappled waters will amaze you. 

Don’t miss the pathway that takes you from the beach to the church of Agios Loukas and the Byzantine chapel of Agios Fokas, which was built to honour the Emperor Nikiforos Fokas for the liberation of Crete by the Arabs in 961 A.D.

- Explore the authentic flavors of Cretan gastronomy
- Visit a local's workshop of "baklava", "kantaifi" and other phyllo pastry
- Taste the famous honey, olive oil and raki of Crete
- Experience Cretan life through quality food, good wine and hearty discussions.


## ITINERARY

### Get into Cretan mentality

We start at a beautiful "kafeneio” hidden in the heart of the city, in a small and peaceful square with a running fountain and orange trees. There, we will enjoy an authentic Cretan breakfast, which consists of a traditional Greek coffee or fresh juice and a handmade cheese pie (Greeks call it "sfakianopita") covered with handmade jam. As we all enjoy our Cretan breakfast in the calm atmosphere of this quiet café we will start discussing the main points of our visit, the historical sites, the traditions and customs, and how all these are connected to Cretan Gastronomy.

### Honey, olive oil and raki tasting

The whole Cretan diet is based on these three ingredients. Distinguishing high and low quality, learning all the dos and don’ts about them, as well all the secrets of their production is the key to success! This is all we will do, along with a lot of tasting, in a comfortable and specially designed tasting room.

### The “phyllo” workshop

A 17th century Venetian mansion houses “Yorgos Hatziparaschos” phyllo workshop, the oldest of its kind. He is famous for making phyllo by hand for more than 63 years now. The phyllo pastry is the base of the famous traditional Greek desserts kantaifi and baklava. While the ingredients are simple - flour, water and some salt - the proportions according to Mr. Hatziparaschos took years of testing. Sprinkled with the right balance of cinnamon and chopped walnuts, kantaifi is one of the favorite sweets of Greeks. There is no way to describe the taste of a masterfully made baklava or kantaifi, you just have to discover for yourself.

### Cretan feast

A restaurant hidden in an Ottoman time inner garden will be our last stop. There, under the lemon trees, you will taste the Cretan cuisine in its modern form. Traditional dishes, cooked with fresh local ingredients and served in a stylish, modern way reflect the connection of the past and the present of Cretan life. Just a perfect occasion to discuss in depths about all that you discovered during the day.

Private Safari Tour to Rodopou Peninsula and Menies Beach

### Authentique and away from the crowds

**DIFFICULTY:**  _Medium_

**GROUP SIZE:**  _2 - 6 persons_

**TYPE:**  _Small group tour_

**PICK UP TIME:**  _08:30_

**PICK UP PLACE:**  _Hotels in Rethymno district_


## Highlights

- Explore the hidden nature in the Kollita gorges
- Enter two different gorges in one day
- Enjoy the remarkable flora and fauna in the depths of nature
- Have snacks to fuel up with energy during your walk
- Enjoy a rewarding lunch in a local Cretan taverna


## ITINERARY

### The two-gorge walk

Our guide/driver will pick you up from your hotel at 8:30. After a 40min drive towards the hinterland, we will arrive in the remote village of Moundros where our walk starts.

This walk aims at making you discover this part of the island, off the beaten tracks, where nature often seems untouched and human presence is mostly embodied by... animals and agricultural activities! Beehives, pastures, vines...

The hike can be divided in three parts:

The first part can be the most demanding as to reach the start of the first gorge, we have some good uphills ahead! On the way, we will go through an old abandonned village, built some 400 years ago but quite well-preserved; a unique opportunity to imagine what life could be like in this area in the past as we wander from the olive oil mill to old stoned-houses.

The second part is easier as we enter the first of the two gorges; lush nature, boulders and water running most of the year (except for the hot months of summer but the shade provided inside eases the walk during those months). From one bank to the other and sometimes in the river bed, the walk reveals all its secrets; amazing rock formations, birds, goats among others. Anytime is good for a little break in the shade and you can rely on your guide to provide you with some bread & cheese, olives and even a nice coffee in the middle of nowhere!

The third part is also easy; we even go back on the asphalt (civilization?!) for a little while to reach the second gorge. This one leads back to the village of Moundros and is more open than the first one; it will give you the chance to walk in more open spaces and enjoy views of the high walls of the gorge, sometimes overhung by vultures...but as this hike is for fit people, we shall have no fear of passing them!

Back to the car, we will head to another nearby village for a nice late lunch in a traditional family taverna for a heartwarming food reward.

Note: Don't forget your walking shoes, sunscreen and at least 2lt of water per person! Children from 15 years old are welcome (younger children are welcome as well, but this needs to be discussed with guests).

## ITINERARY

### Preveli and the palm beach walk

Our guide/driver will pick you up from your hotel at around 8:30. After a 40 minutes drive towards the hinterland, we will reach the area of the famous Preveli Monastery and the equally (or more) famous Palm-tree beach of Preveli nearby.

This walk aims to make you discover one part of the south coast of Crete (about 30km south from Rethymno), hike through fantastic natural and preserved landscapes, surrounded by hills, olive groves and mountains, but also to swim in the pristine waters of the Libyan Sea.

The hike can be divided in three parts;

The first one will take us to the Palm Beach and its river coming from the mountaineous heart of Crete. It will take us about 1h30-2h to reach it, whereas we walk through fields and close to the walls of the gorge that we can sometimes see down below. The arrival on the south coast that many people would call "the other Crete" or "the real Crete" is always magical! Blooming thyme scents, amazing scenery views and a sense of freedom are guaranteed!

The second part is a bit more relaxing as it includes a "mandatory" swim in the clear and blue Libyan Sea! There, we also have the possibility to walk along the river of Preveli, along its banks surrounded by palm trees. Of course, natural pools of sweet water are available to be enjoyed!

For this last part, we leave the Preveli beach for another 1hour walk to finish our loop, through pastures, using the shepherds' tracks for some more adventures!

We eventually reach our vehicle and then drive to a nearby taverna for a (late?) and well-deserved lunch.

Please note: Don't forget your walking shoes, sunscreen and hat, swimming suit and 1,5lt of water per person!

**GROUP SIZE:**  _2 - 6 persons_

**TYPE:**  _Small group tour_

**PICK UP TIME:**  _09:00_

- Traditional snacks on the way
- Have light lunch in a local kafeneio
- Take the E4 trail and walk through unmarked territory
- Visit an abandoned church built inside a rock


## ITINERARY

### An overview of the path

Our guide/driver will pick you up from your hotel (Rethymno district) at 9:00. You shall arrive to your destination after 25 min. Your journey starts near the imposing Monastery of Arkadi.

During your hike, you will open 11 fences. You will enter thus 11 different pastures, each one having its own story to tell. Follow the shepherd's paths, explore the Cretan nature off the beaten tracks and learn all the little secrets and traditions of the Cretan agriculture.

This hike has 3 different stages:

The first part of the hike is quite easy. You will have the sensation of leaving behind the view of the sea and going towards the mountains. The highest peak of Crete (Psiloritis 2456m) is often in sight. If you happen to do this walk at springtime, you will walk through green fields and countless flowers.

For sure, you will come across no one on your way. Perhaps, if you are lucky, you'll meet an authentic shepherd. Most of the time, sheep and goats run free in these lands. You will see some drinking troughs as well as some very beautiful trees.

During the second part, you may enjoy a small pique-nique prepared by your guide, you will eat what the sheperds eat as a snack. The view is magnificent... You can see the sea from above and feel the cool breeze. The second part ends up at a little church which is open to anyone most of the time.

The third part is a little bit more difficult. You will get out of the easy path to follow the E4 (European Path Network), sometimes even passing from unmarked fields. You will visit an abandonned church as well as a new one, which is build inside a rock. As you open the last fence... you will feel free and calm, full of beautiful images to bring back home.

After that, we return to the car, and we end our journey in a small kafeneio. Mme Irini is so welcoming and, although the scenery is a little bit strange and even... kitsch (as it is in most villages!) the food served there is homemade and suitable for all preferences (vegetarian friendly). The raki is great quality and the owner's love is more than enough to make you feel like home.

Note: There is no water source in the path, so bring some with you. Please, wear comfortable shoes suitable for trekking, a hat and sunscreen.

We will discover an exceptional part of the south coast of the island, by going around the Plakias peninsula while overlooking to the Libyan Sea. Even in August we will be away from the crowds... and hike this beautiful part of the island pretty much alone.

### Choose the waters you'll dive in!

Olive groves, rock formations, cliffs and fantastic views are waiting for you on this flexible day, where swimming can take place wherever you like, on beautiful beaches with very few people, as you walk along on the side. Time to stretch your body and enjoy swimming at the splendid crystal clear deep blue waters of South Crete! What is best than enjoying an isolated beach all by yourself?

### Cretan lunch by the Libyan sea

Of course, lunch is planned in a small tavern with the most gorgeous sea view in the region, in order to enjoy a genuine meal just like the Cretans do. Fresh fish on the grill with refreshing dry wine, made by local grape varieties, and the waves under your feet... it doesn't get more relaxing than this.
