Description

Our day starts from the center of Chania moving southwards to reach the big orange valley of Chania. In a few minutes we will be inside the valley moving southwest through orange trees and farming areas full of aromas and tastes, surprises are always welcome there… Crossing the valley and a river with our well-equipped offroad vehicles, we move through Cretan villages and start climbing on altitude through an off-road route, with dense vegetation and the best panoramic view of Chania.

Reaching an altitude of 1000m our adrenaline will be raised up more following an off-road route through the heart of the White Mountains, crossing the unknown shepherd’s paths and affiliate ourselves with fresh air, wild vegetation, livestock and breathtaking views. At the end of our adventure route we reach Kallergi Refugee at 1680m altitude above the sea level. The view is unique just above Samaria Gorge, from south the view of the Libyan sea and around us the highest tops of White Mountains. From the balcony of Samaria we will be welcomed by the owner of the Refugee with a hot cup of mountain tea, and afterwards a Cretan lunch will be offered with plenty of wine and warm Cretan hospitality. Raki shots won’t miss our lunch break… With a full appetite, a lot of photos and views we continue our off-road route for 5 kilometers in order to reach Omalos Plateu and Xiloskalo where is the entrance of Samaria Gorge. A quick stop for photos and then we follow the asphalt road to Chania. On the way back we pass by the beautiful and historical village of Lakkoi, where we stop for some photos and a historic guided tour of the village and then continuing our route back to Chania full of memories, photos and amazing views.

**Please note that during winter (December-February) the visit in Kallergi refugee may be inaccessible due to dense snow so we reach Xiloskalo (the entrance of Samaria Gorge) and then we follow off-road routes until we reach Therissos Village where lunch is served. After lunch we follow the road back through Therisso Gorge and we reach Chania town.

This intimate size ensures that your group will not crowd your experience. You can expect up to 30 travelers on a trip but the average is 15-20. Check individual trip pages for maximum group sizes.

It’s extremely difficult if not impossible to join a tour after it has begun. It is possible to leave a tour early however you will be responsible for your own arrangements from the moment you decide to leave the tour. You would also be responsible for all costs associated with joining a tour late or leaving one early. If you feel this may be necessary please consult a Fabulous Crete Specialist before you book your adventure.

However, our tours appeal to a wide range of travellers, most of whom share an adventurous spirit and a desire to experience these destinations at a grass-roots level. Our tours are conducted in English and so they attract many travellers from North America, UK, Australia and Europe

The availability listed on our website is updated every minute however on some tours we must confirm arrangements with our people on the ground, a process which usually takes no more than 24 hours. When you book online you will receive a follow-up email confirming your arrangements or a timeframe for when they will be confirmed.

As you can expect some landmarks take more time to get to on coach tours and some are more time-consuming than others. With this in mind, we have no set time for the exploration of each attraction. Our tour guides are trained to watch how their group progresses at each landmark and they adjust each tour accordingly. You should keep in mind that some tours cover three landmarks over a single day, so there are a limited number of hours in which to do a lot of sightseeing. Consequently, you may not have an extensive amount of time to spend at each attraction.

You could lose your seat to a walk-up passenger. We encourage you to arrive at the pickup point a minimum of 15 minutes before departure. Once on the tour, your guide or driver will give you a time that the coach will depart each location. You must be at the coach at least five minutes before this time. If you are late and miss the time given, the coach will depart without you in order to not keep the other passengers waiting. If you are in any doubt about a departure time whilst on your tour, you must ask the guide or driver.

Any items we find on our coaches are taken to our office at Episkopou Chrysanthou 37 str. Chania old town and are kept there for 72 hours before being destroyed or given to charity. Please call our office on +30 28210 43243 for any lost items.
