Discover the authentic charm of Crete on a full-day countryside adventure that blends sightseeing, hands-on cooking, and local culture. Begin your journey with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Analipsi, Heraklion, Hersonissos, or Sisi, then travel through scenic landscapes to the traditional village of Potamies.
Experience rural life firsthand as you visit a working farm, watch a farmer milk goats, and sample fresh dairy products. Next, marvel at the impressive Aposelemis Dam, the largest in Crete, and photograph the hauntingly beautiful, half-submerged village of Sfendili surrounded by a vibrant wetland teeming with birdlife.
Travel off the beaten path through the dramatic Embasa Gorge, where you can pick wild herbs and soak in panoramic mountain views. Join a step-by-step cooking lesson using local ingredients, and later, enjoy a delicious Cretan lunch paired with wine and water, all included in your tour.
Continue your exploration on the Lassithi plateau, where you'll discover the art of Cretan ceramics in a pottery workshop and even craft your own piece. Meet local artisans and savor the flavors of wood-oven baked dishes at a welcoming village café.
Stroll through the picturesque village of Krasi, home to an 18th-century aqueduct and ancient plane trees. Conclude your day with a guided tour of a traditional olive oil factory, tasting fresh olive oil before a relaxing return to your accommodation. Secure your spot today and immerse yourself in the flavors and traditions of Crete—spaces fill quickly!
