Chania Tour 1. Explore the White Mountains of Crete

We begin crossing a valley full of orange and avocado trees, and many vegetables gardens. Climbing up the foothills of the White Mountains where we make our coffee stop at Deres .Continuing we drive through the Cretan villages of Vatolakos, Alikianos, Fournes, Meskla, Zourva&Therisso , following an off road route up to the shepherd’s hut called “Mitato”. If we are lucky since we go to uncharted roads... we will marvel some wild eagles and goats from up close giving us a good reason to stop and capture the moment. A small rocky road will lead us up to our trip’s highest point of 1350 meters altitude in the heart of the White Mountains of Crete, where you will find out all about the lifestyle of a shepherd. We will learn where the famous Cretan “Graviera” cheese was produced and explore an original Shepherd's hut called "Mitato".Continuing we arrive at Therisso village for a short walk in the historic village and a visit in a small Cretan family tavern for our lunch.
