About This Tour

Start your journey through the foothills of the White Mountains with a hassle-free pickup from your accommodation in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Led by your professional driver, leave the coast behind to visit the serene, cliffside Monastery of Agia Kyriaki, a hidden spiritual sanctuary surrounded by untouched nature. Afterward, immerse your senses in the world-renowned Botanical Park of Crete, where you will enjoy a scenic, self-paced walk through a lush hillside paradise filled with Mediterranean flora, exotic plants, and aromatic herbs.

Continue deeper into the mountains to explore the traditional village of Meskla and the breathtaking Nikolianon Spring. Here, you can marvel at the crystal-clear freshwater flowing directly from the mountains beneath towering, ancient plane trees. Take a refreshing break by the running waters and admire the dramatic rock formations of this hidden valley, which showcases the wildest and most picturesque side of the Cretan landscape.

Conclude your adventure along the scenic mountain route of Zourva at a handpicked traditional tavern overlooking a rugged gorge. Savor an authentic Cretan feast prepared with fresh, seasonal local ingredients, which is fully included if you choose the exclusive private option, or available to order at your own expense if you opt for the semi-private small group tour. After a memorable day of stunning nature, history, and local gastronomy, your driver will smoothly transport you directly back to your hotel entrance.
