Our adventure begins in Gazi as we make our way to the village of Krousonas, where you’ll taste local products such as olive oil and raki. There’s also time to relax with a coffee and enjoy the beautiful mountain views.

We continue toward the Livadi Plateau, passing apple orchards, olive groves, and wild herbs that fill the air with their scent. Along the way, you’ll almost certainly meet some of the friendly local goats before we reach the famous village of Anogia, located on the slopes of Psiloritis, where you’ll have time for a short walk and the chance to meet the locals.

Our next stop is the impressive Sfendoni Cave, known for its rich formations of stalactites and stalagmites.
With your appetite growing, we head to a traditional taverna for a delicious Cretan lunch with local wine and water. After lunch, we take an off‑road route toward the northern coast of Heraklion, stopping at a viewpoint where you can capture some amazing photos of the coastline.

This is a day full of variety, surprises, and authentic Cretan experiences.
