Private Tour of Undiscovered Sfakia

Duration: +/- 9 hours

This tour provides you with an opportunity to experience a deeper Crete untouched by tourism in the southern coastal region of Chania. In just one day the tour combines breathtaking nature, remote mountain villages and a crystal clear sea. The adventure begins with a scenic drive in a private minibus to Sfakia, with views of the Aradena Gorge, followed by a visit to an isolated village serving as a real-life museum of Cretan architecture. From the last village, where the road ends, the hike to the southern coast begins. Following an ancient mule track, winding through the shade of a pine forest, we will hike down to a picturesque and isolated cove with a 12th century Byzantine chapel. After a refreshing swim and an optional snack at the beach’s canteen, a small private boat will take us to the port of Sfakia, where the minibus awaits for the return to Chania. A challenging adventure well worth the extra effort to escape the crowds and experience the real Crete!

Participants are encouraged to bring the following:

• Sneakers or light hiking shoes
