Exploring Creta: A Stroll Through the Villages of Apokoronas!

Discover the villages of Apokoronas and learn everything about the traditional lifestyle of the Cretans.

We start with a visit to an olive oil factory, where you’ll see how the “gold” of Crete — olive oil — is produced and taste it on fresh rustic bread! On site, there’s also a small folklore museum, showcasing tools and objects once used in the locals’ everyday life.

Next, we stop at a historic monastery of great importance. Take a walk through paths of natural beauty and wander the narrow streets of traditional villages. Then, enjoy a lunch at a family-run taverna.

The villages you’ll visit are: Vrisses (olive oil factory), Karidi (Monastery of St. George), Vamos (walking), Gavalochori (walking), Roupakia (nature trails, optional light hiking), and Drapanos for lunch.

At the end, you’ll take part in a cooking lesson in an eco-friendly environment and taste the dishes you’ve created.
