Discover the authentic heart of Crete on a relaxing countryside journey through historic sites, traditional villages, and beautiful natural landscapes. Visit the hilltop Koules Fortress of Aptera for breathtaking panoramic views over Souda Bay, explore charming local villages, and stop at a historic monastery to learn about Crete’s olive-oil heritage.

Along the way, collect fresh local products from village producers and a traditional bakery before ending the day with a peaceful picnic beside the cool waters of the Kiliaris River.

Activity itinerary

Venetian Fortress Rocca a Mare

  • 20m
Our day begins at the hilltop fortress of Koules Fortress of Aptera, above ancient Aptera, where breathtaking panoramic views unfold across Souda Bay, the Apokoronas valley, Souda islet, and the historic Izzedin Fortress. Here, guests learn why this strategic location served as a natural defensive stronghold for centuries.

Armenoi

  • 45m
We then continue to the peaceful village of Armenoi to admire its beautiful Venetian church and enjoy a relaxing coffee beneath the shade of a centuries-old plane tree. Local delicacies — cheeses and traditional cold cuts — are carefully selected for our picnic later in the day.

Saint George Monastery

  • 40m
At the historic Monastery of Agios Georgios at Karydi, guests explore the charming monastery grounds and a traditional stone olive mill, a timeless reminder of Crete’s olive-oil heritage. We collect fresh monastery olive oil to savour during our countryside feast.
