Description

Combine the visit of traditional villages, caves, plateaus, mountain sites with the tasting of local products and get to know the local life here in Crete.

Starting our journey from Gazi we head to the village of Krousonas where we have the opportunity to taste local products such as Olive Oil and Raki. Here we have free time for a coffee to relax and enjoy the stunning views.

Continuing our journey towards Livadi Plateau we see some of the many apple orchards in the area, olive trees and wild herbs whose aroma is in the air and without doubt meet some friendly local goats along the way to the cave of Sfendoni. The cave features rich decoration with stalactites, stalagmites, as well as several fossilized waves and is the home of not just different types of bats, but also dozens of species of invertebrates. There is a 6€ entrance fee including a guide and walking shoes are recommended.

Building up an appetite we make our way to the famous village of Anogeia which is perched on the slopes of Psiloritis, where we have a delicious Traditional lunch with unlimited wine (vegetarian option available). Once refreshed you can go for a short walk where you can visit the center of Anogia and meet the locals. Before we slowly make our journey back off road to stop for a magnificent view over the northern coast of Heraklion where you have the chance to make some amazing pictures before we head home.

This is a day full of many surprises and the excitement is second to none and you certainly won’t forget your fun day out with SAFARICLUB!!
