Georgioupolis Safari

Experience special moments in a tour aiming to reveal the Cretan traditions and good food. During our tour, we will visit archaeological sites, where you will savour your breakfast coffee under a 2,000-year-old plane tree, a traditional village with a Byzantine Church and a traditional café with traditional Cretan products, like herbs, raki, honey, oregano, etc. Then, you will climb to an altitude of 1,200 metres, where, hopefully, vultures will take your breath away with their imposing appearance. You will, however, experience the quietness in the isolation of the White Mountains and dance Cretan dances in a fascinating landscape. You will then find a very old castle with a mystery myth, swim in the pristine waters of the South Cretan Sea and taste delicious traditional dishes from a family tavern. Lastly, you will learn how wine, raki, ouzo, raki with honey and olive oil are made in Crete, including ways to distinguish grades of olive oil. Be there to experience the adventure!

Evening Tour

This tour is for those who would like to get to know Cretan culture and traditions while enjoying a four-hour off-road excursion. We will visit a modern olive mill, so that you can get a “close-up” picture of how olive oil is produced, and we can also enjoy the opportunity to sample some of the oils.After this, we will explore some myths and stories hidden in the stones of an early Christian church which was used as a hiding place by people who were evicted by the Turks. We also learn about the history of a 400-year-old tower which was built by the most fearsome Turkish Janissary and is still almost intact to this day.After that we will “climb” 1000 metres above sea-level on an off-road route. We will travel through the Lefka Ori woods and you will be stunned by the panoramic view from the trail. Later, we will meet a shepherd who will show us how Cretan cheeses are made and we can try some of the cheeses he makes himself. Finally, we will bring the evening to a close with a traditional evening meal. There will be lots of food and traditional dishes for everyone to enjoy, and the evening will leave you with fond memories of your day spent exploring Crete.
