Explore the Cretan villages of Apokoronas. Private Tour.

Our local knowledgeable, professional guides and warmth and friendliness of our drivers will take us on a tour uncovering the Original riches of Crete that is hidden behind the tourist façade. Our journey takes us through picturesque landscapes and villages to the heart of an area called the Apokoronas.

1. 1

   Archaeological Site Of Aptera

   1 hour

   Our first stop is the archaeological site of Aptera, set on an impressive position. Our group has time to take magnificent photos of the view to Souda bay from the fortress of Koules, and then at the village of Stylos, famous for its natural spring water.

2. 2

   Almyrida

   1.5 hours

   After a short drive through magnificent countryside, we arrive to a nature lover’s paradise, Almyrida, for swimming & lunch. Almyrida is a great place to stay as it is small enough to retain a quaint charm but big enough for a choice of places to eat and drink.

   Our next stop is the village Gavalochori with its Historical Folklore Museum which constitutes a characteristic manifestation of the local architecture, and introduces us to the manufacturing traditions of Crete such as silk, pottery, stone sculpturing & woodcarving.
