Our first stop is at the village of Kritsa, famous for its long history since the era of the ancient city of LATO until the Ottoman times. The village features the important religious monument of Panagia KERA, which dates back to the 12th century.
We continue towards Katharo Plateau (altitude 1200m) through the cypress forest where we see goats, sheep and if we get lucky, we may even witness Cretan vultures in the wild. It is an excellent occasion to take photos of the MIRA A BELO Gulf, a name given by the Venetians and means “beautiful view”.
We then move southwards to Selakano forest, which is famous for the unique, high quality honey that is produced there.
We will cool off at Sarakina Gorge, a gorge of easy access for all. Photos of this breathtaking landscape will impress your friends.
We continue towards the southernmost point in Europe, that is, the fishing village of Myrtos. It is time for a swim, shopping or a cup of tea by the Libyan Sea.

We took a trip out with Safari Crete during our two week stay in Crete. We came to the island last year and fell in love with the place, so had to come again! This trip was brilliant from start to finish. We saw sights that you could only get to in a 4x4, explores the beautiful mountainous areas and met some lovely locals along the way. Our tour guide was a brilliant driver and made us all feel very comfortable. He was very informative and explained a lot about the area.
We visited the mountains, went to small villages and explored this beautiful gorge. This holiday has been all about seeing those non-touristy sites and by doing this trip we have definitely uncovered some hidden gems.
Thank you to the team and our driver Danny for a fantastic day!
