Our journey through East Crete begins with an exciting off-road adventure to the stunning Cave of Milatos. There we will enjoy a soft hiking trail through the wild Cretan nature.
The walk will lead us to the historical cave, a place of great significance in Crete’s past. Once there, we immerse ourselves in the legends and history of Crete while collecting aromatic wild herbs. A perfect
opportunity for memorable photos in the imposing gorge!
Next, we arrive at the traditional village of Fourni where time seems to have stopped in another era, offering us a glimpse of authentic Cretan life. Strolling through its small alleys, we will have the opportunity to speak to the locals and admire the old stone houses. This is also a great opportunity to enjoy a coffee at a local café.
We descend to the seaside village of Plaka, a picturesque fishing haven with breathtaking views of the bay and the historic island of Spinalonga. A few moments here allow us to take in the peaceful yet vibrant seaside ambiance.
We continue our adventure to the coastal village of Elounda. We take a walk along the remains of the Sunken City of Olous, a mysterious ancient city submerged beneath the crystal-clear waters. Finally, we will drive to Agios Nikolaos, a town famous for its scenic Voulismeni Lake. Whether you choose to take a leisurely walk around the lake, explore the vibrant streets, or relax with a coffee by the waterfront, this charming town offers the perfect ending to our half-day sightseeing tour.
