Then it is on to the town of Chania, with its rich Venetian and Turkish heritage, and the old port that invites you to a stroll. The small winding streets are a paradise for shopping aficionados.

Samaria Gorge Long Way
Stretching for some 16 km through the White Mountains, the George of Samaria is one of Europe's longest and wildest. Hiking through the gorge and descending from an altitude of almost 1.000m to sea level is a fantastic experience if you are a nature lover and active person.
Imbros Gorge
This gorge, that runs parallel to its bigger neighbour Samaria, is only 8km long and easily accessible also for less experienced hikers or families. The gorge is absolutely beautiful, with lots of opportunities for pictures of the impressive rock formations and the surrounding mountains.
Agios Nikolaos City - Spinalonga - Elounda
Enjoying a picturesque view of the deep blue waters of the Cretan Sea as we travel east along the north coast, we arrive at the Bay of Mirabello and the quaint little town of Agios Nikolaos. Agios Nikolaos is one of the most picturesque towns on our island because of the lovely bay, the vibrant streets, and—most importantly—the lake in the middle of the town. We visit for a leisurely coffee break, a quick shopping trip, or a stroll around the gorgeous lake.
Heraklion City - Knossos Palace & Museum
You will arrive in Heraklion via a cozy motor coach following your journey along the National Road. One of the most significant palaces of the Minoan civilization, the once-beautiful Knossos Palace, is what made this town famous. Mythology claims that it was the home of the fabled King Minos and is associated with exciting tales like the Labyrinth and the myth of the Minotaur. Discover the magnificent past with your experienced guide while you explore the partially restored remnants of this once-glorious palace.

Gramvousa Island - Balos Lagoon
Right at the Northwestern tip of the island of Crete, spectacular sights await you: you depart by boat from the port of Kissamos and stop at the island of Gramvoussa. This rugged, uninhabited place was the hideout for pirates and revolutionaries during the Turkish occupation.
