Activity itinerary

Komolithi
  • 1h
Discover one of Crete’s best-kept secrets at Komolithi. Rising unexpectedly from the lush greenery of the Potamida region, these bizarre clay mounds look like they belong on another planet. While most travellers stick to the coast, this quick detour allows you to explore a rare natural phenomenon that few tourists ever witness. It’s a quiet, surreal landscape that offers a profound sense of discovery and a glimpse into the island's unique geological diversity.
Agia Sofia Cave
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Nestled high above the dramatic Topolia Gorge, the Agia Sofia Cave is a hidden geological marvel. A brief, scenic ascent leads you to a massive cavern adorned with ancient stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over millennia. Beyond the impressive rock formations, the cave’s mouth serves as a natural balcony, offering some of the most spectacular views over the rugged gorge below. It’s an ideal stop for those who appreciate the raw, wild beauty of Crete’s mountainous landscape and the quiet power of nature. Entrance ticket is 2 euros and its paid on site
Elafonissi Beach
  • 3h
Experience the surreal beauty of Elafonissi, Crete’s world-famous pink sand beach. This breathtaking coastal wonder is a masterpiece of nature, where crushed seashells tint the shoreline in soft pastel hues against a backdrop of vivid turquoise water. Capture stunning shots of the shallow lagoon and the winding sandbars that lead to the protected islet. Whether you are photographing the rare sea daffodils or the way the sunlight hits the crystal-clear shallows, Elafonissi provides a dreamlike setting that looks even better in person than it does on a postcard.
Chrisoskalitissa Monastery
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Uncover the mystery of the "Golden Step" at the Chrysoskalitissa Monastery. This 17th-century clifftop landmark is steeped in a local legend that gives the monastery its name: it is said that among its 90 steps, one is made of pure gold, visible only to those with a truly pure heart. Whether you spot the gold or not, the journey up the stairs leads you to a site of profound historical and spiritual significance, where centuries of Cretan Orthodox tradition are preserved in a setting that feels suspended between the sea and the sky. Entrance ticket is 3 euros and its paid on site
Elos
  • 1h
Experience the authentic taste of the Cretan mountains in Elos, a village where the kitchen is the heart of the home. Here, the "old-fashioned way" isn't a marketing slogan—it’s a lifestyle. Savour a soulful meal at a family-run taverna where the scent of the wood-fired oven fills the air. From slow-roasted meats that fall off the bone to hand-crafted local cheeses and seasonal mountain greens, every dish celebrates the island's rich agricultural heritage. It’s the perfect place to linger over a glass of house wine and enjoy a meal that nourishes both the body and the spirit.
