Our tour begins with a convenient hotel pickup, where our friendly team will greet you and make sure you're comfortable aboard our premium off-road vehicle. We'll start by heading towards Maroulas, a charming traditional village, and then continue south, driving up the dirt road that leads to the mountain.
As we ascend, the breathtaking views will unfold before your eyes, reaching up to 600 meters above the river dam lake. The landscape is truly magical, with the lake and surrounding mountains creating a stunning panorama. We'll then make our way down to the lake via a narrow dirt road, where we'll explore the enchanting St. Antony's Gorge.
Accompanied by our experienced and qualified mountain escort, you'll embark on a memorable walk through this natural wonderland. To ensure your safety, we'll provide walking sticks for support. The flora in the area is simply magnificent, and even on hot summer days, the temperature inside the canyon remains refreshingly cool.
Inside the gorge, you'll discover a small church, Agios Antonios, which is intricately carved into the rock and filled with people's wishes written on small papers. It's a truly special sight to behold. Make sure you come prepared with comfortable walking or hiking shoes to fully enjoy the canyon walk.
After the gorge adventure, it's time to indulge in the flavours of traditional Cretan cuisine. We'll take you to a beautiful tavern in the area, where you can savour the authentic tastes of Crete along with homemade Cretan wine. It's the perfect way to immerse yourself in the local culture and culinary delights.
As we make our way back to your hotel, you'll be filled with wonderful memories of the stunning mountainous landscape of Crete. The sights, sounds, smells, and tastes will linger with you, ensuring this experience remains a cherished part of your journey.
