Experience ‘Authentic life’ in Crete

ITINERARY

Sfentoni Cave is one of the most interesting caves in Crete. The cave is decorated with stalactites and stalagmites. The stunning cave offers visitors a stunning view of how Mother Nature patiently creates an aesthetic spectacle using mineral-rich bodies of water.

Axos village: In Crete, Axos offers a unique opportunity for those who want to discover authentic Crete. Walk in the small village and admire the picturesque alleys, the flowered courtyards, and the amazing view! 

Wood carving museum: At the entrance of the village, you should definitely make a stop at the Wood Carving Museum where there are the most important figures, the Organ player with his lyre, the Cretan man, Grandpa and Grandma, and representations from nature (the eagle the snake, the Cretan ibex). 

The Cretan farm: The traditional farm will fill you with pictures, perfumes, and unforgettable experiences that will soon become valuable memories! Traditional threshing – Grinding wheat with a hand grinder – Milking. Visit Mitato (the traditional accommodation of a Cretan shepherd). They will offer guests tsikoudia (local treats) and local honey with genuine thyme. We will thresh with our horse, we will learn everything about milking, we will visit our “Mitato” where we can make and taste local cheese, and then we will get to know the special place where the cheese matures, our basement cheese. NOTES!! The Cretan Farm program takes place every Tuesday & Thursday, the rest of the program can be done every day and instead of Cretan Farm we can visit the Eναγρον  which is about agritourism and has a very nice restaurant with a peaceful place to relax and to enjoy your meal
