Sarakina Gorge, Kritza, Oliveoil Tasting, Mountains, South Coast

Enjoy one of the best off-road experiences in Crete as you explore the island’s rugged inland landscapes filled with mountains, forests, and dramatic gorges. This adventure takes you deep into the heart of Crete, starting with a visit to a traditional olive factory where you can taste different qualities of local olive oil. The journey continues toward the mountain village of Kritza, following old Minoan paths that reveal the lesser-known side of Crete, surrounded by pure nature, wild scenery, and breathtaking views.

A major highlight of the tour is the protected mountain forest of Kroustas, offering a peaceful escape into untouched natural surroundings. The route then heads south across the mountains to a charming local taverna, where lunch is served with fresh mountain spring water and warm Cretan hospitality, far from modern civilization. Continue to the impressive Sarakina Gorge, where you can enjoy a hike suited to your fitness level, before ending the day at Myrtos on the Libyan Sea, with time to relax on the beach or enjoy a refreshing swim.
