Mainland of West Crete: It is the right time to see what we offer more from our competitors. Driving on rough roads at the countryside will explore the mainland of the west part of Crete, where are olive trees, vineyards, many small villages and gorges. You will enjoy the view of the Deliana or Topolia gorge.Admire and take plenty of photos of wild landscape nature.You will have the opportunity to see local mountain goats and watch the vultures fly from their nests up to the sky.
Restaurant: Depending from the period of the year that you join the tour, we choose a different restaurant, trying if it is possible to avoid to be so crowdy, during your lunch time. Your delicious lunch will consist of traditional Cretan flavors with season salad, wine, beer and dessert.
Saint John the Hermit Cave: In our last stop you will visit the “Saint John the Hermit” cave, where he lived the 16th century for 3 years.
