About this excursion

This experience offers a different side of Crete, away from the busy tourist routes and into the island’s authentic heart.

From the historic Arkadi Monastery to the traditional village of Margarites and the fascinating Melidoni Cave, each stop reveals a different part of Crete’s history, culture and way of life.

What makes this tour special is the combination of history, traditional villages, local culture and natural beauty in one carefully designed experience. You will have time to explore, discover local stories and experience places that are deeply connected to the identity of Crete.

It is more than a sightseeing tour. It is an opportunity to experience the real Crete, with its traditions, landscapes, stories and people, while travelling comfortably from Rethymno in a private and relaxed setting.
