Our adventure begins at the foot of mount Giouhtas where you get the chance to admire the mountain, where according to myth, Zeus is buried. Soon after, we will reach the monastery of Epanosifi that was built in 1600 where we will make a short stop for some pictures. Then we will continue our journey via the provincial roads through some of the oldest and most historically rich villages of Crete, until we reach the village of Vasiliki.

There you can have a swim in the crystal waters of southern crete, enjoy the sun, and have a drink at the small hippie style tavern. later we can visit the isolated and less known Fylakas beach, next to Tripiti and explore the seabed with a mask. After you are full of sun and ready to go, we will go and have lunch at a great local tavern that offers delicious high quality traditional Cretan food and is located next to the Gorge of Agios Savvas and inside the oldest known olive tree forest, .

 As the day goes on, we continue our journey towards Krotos village via the provincial  dirt road that runs west through the majestic south Cretan scenery,  witnessing its’ wild beauty and untouched landscape which is guaranteed to take your breath away.
