Your Optional Excursions —
Our members can choose to add the following excursions at the next stage of the booking process for an additional fee.
Excursion to Discover Crete
After this spiritual visit, you will meet Katerina, a Cretan artist. She is a mother of three who followed her heart and utilised her talent to open a small workshop in a traditional house, where she lovingly restores beautiful jewellery. You'll also learn about the traditional "Komboloi" - where pearls are threaded to pass time or calm nerves. You’ll also get to make your own "Komboloi". Lastly, you will walk along a small street that leads to the picturesque "kagenion" of Katerina's mother, where you will enjoy a home-made Cretan lunch while enjoying views of Heraklion.

Included: Transfer, driver, lunch, wine and water, Komboloi workshop.

Land Rover Safari - Tripiti
From there, you will hit the road through the verdant vineyards, where the Minoans built the oldest wine press in the world, until you reach your next stop in Charakas, a small mountain village. Here, you will mingle with locals for a coffee break at a local café.
Following this, continue your journey off-road through hills populated with olive trees, until the next stop: the summit of the gorges of Tripiti. Admire the magnificent layers of rocks, wild meadows and the sparkling sea. Take a stop to walk in the gorge until you reach the small Panagia cave chapel which is built into the rock.
You will then head to the beach Tripiti to enjoy a barbecue with wine and water included. Spend relaxing moments enjoying a refreshing swim in the Libyan Sea, whose crystal-clear waters are always warmer than the Aegean Sea. Then, you will take a walk along the south coast and its small authentic villages before stopping for a refreshment and a snack. This is a fantastic experience that awaits!
