This day is the best way to explore the south of the island with its traditional villages, forests and gorges. Explore the mythology, flora and fauna and the local life of Crete.
We start our journey along the coastal road of Mirabello Bay before we head into the mountains for our first stop where you have a magnificent view of the Cretan and Lybian sea. We will stop for a coffee in one of the traditional villages before we continue driving to reach the Sarakina gorge. Here you will have free time to explore the gorge before we continue to the village of Christos with its local water sources.
From there we will make our way through the Selakano forest, the biggest remaining forest on the island. A quick stop to a natural spring and we move on to enjoy the views at lofty heights before arriving at Katharo, where a delicious traditional lunch awaits us. In the village of Kritsa you will enjoy some free time. This village was awarded a Golden Star for its olive oil as well as its village life and culture. Back in the vehicles we slowly make our way back past the monument to a local legend and the stunning rugged Cretan scenery.
This day is full of unique photo opportunities and unsurpassed highlights. You will surely not forget this incredible day out with Safari Club.
