Overview

Explore the wild heart of East Crete, undiscovered by tourism, where time seems to stand still. A combination of tar and off-roads will guide you from Ierapetra to the mountains of Thripti. A highlight of the tour is the stop at the summit of Afentis (850 m) with an unforgettable panoramic view of both seas (Libyan and Aegean). We continue to Kavousi, where you can admire the oldest olive tree in the world (3250 years). In Mochlos, you can enjoy the “greek cuisine” in a typical local tavern. Our trip continues through the vine yards and olive fields, among small chapels, towards authentic villages with their simple lifestyles (for example, Tourloti, Sfaka, and Lastros). To end this adventure day, refresh yourselves in the crystal-clear water at the bay of Tholos.
