WHY WE LOVE IT

This tour is the ultimate road trip from Chania which takes you to magnificent remote villages and viewpoints, a wild and authentic contrast to the more sophisticated Chania old town in the core of Chania region. 

Activity Description

Departing in the morning from Chania, your expert guides will drive you through the wild southern beauty of Crete towards Sfakia for an authentic adventure tour. You will reach the highest mountainous passage of the day and have a stop at a traditional 'kafenio' for local delicacies. Your southwards road trip will continue and will reach the Libyan sea for a relaxing break and -why not- a swim in the crystal clear waters. After the break, the road-trip to Crete continues up the mountains again, towards the most remote part of the region, for more breathtaking views and a short walk around an abandoned traditional village which will take you to a trip back in time. As your road trip continues you will stop at the top of the hill where the panoramic view of the Libyan Sea will leave you in awe. By noon, you will head to the most important stop of the trip, a local taverna, for a traditional Cretan lunch prepared just for you! After this authentic gastronomic experience you will wave your goodbyes to the magnificent Sfakia region and will return back to Chania with memories of a lifetime!
