  5. DAY FIVE - Tuesday South Crete, the gorge of Imbros

    Imbros Gorge is the second most popular gorge on Crete after Samaria. It runs parallel to its ”big sister”, the Samaria Gorge, for 8 kilometres, and its narrowest part is just 1.60m wide. It takes around 2 to 3 hours to hike the gorge. The first 30 minutes of the hike is downhill through wildflower meadows, and the gorge is getting narrower along the way. After around 75 minutes, you’ll find yourself in the slimmest, most spectacular spot of the gorge. The walls of the gorge are less than 2 metres apart and tower 300 meters above. Imbros opens onto the sea at the village of Komitades, where we can relax over drinks at a taverna before continuing to the nearby village Chora Sfakion. There you have free time for swimming & lunch before we return to the city.

  6. DAY SIX - Wednesday Discover the Cretan wines

    Today we will introduce you to the Cretan wine varieties through a delightful wine taste at your hotel’s restaurant. Travelling deep down the centuries, we submerge in the fertile soils of the Cretan land. Where the roots of ancient vineyards embrace the soil witch supported and raised civilizations of unforgotten eras. Their fruits, their essences have created the name of a robust product—the Cretan Wine. The roots of Crete’s winemakers are vast and deep. They produce indigenous Cretan varieties (Romeiko, Vidiano, Kotsifali, Pluto, Mantilari, Vilana, Dafni, Liatiko, Muscat of Spina and others) for centuries, having nothing to covet those of central Europe and the rest of the world. Through our wine taste, you will get to know and taste Cretan wine varieties, which will fill your palate with an unforgettable taste and highlight the best memories from our beautiful island.

  7. DAY SEVEN- Thursday Free day
  8. DAY EIGHT - Friday Departure day
