General Description

This is a guided jeep safari tour, with door to door pick up, where you will have the chance to life in Cretan village, olives pick, olive oil production, Cretan wine, honey production, distillation of “raki” - “tsikoudia”, and Cretan cuisine, culture, history and tradition.

First stop is at Ano Vouves, to the unique 3000 years old olive tree which is still productive, here you will have time for a cup of coffee or fresh orange juice.

Our next stop is at Anoskeli, where you will learn all about the production of olive oil, as we visit Anoskeli's olive mill and winery. Taste the organic extra virgin olive oil, spread on warm bread with oregano, salt and lemon juice. Continue with a winery experience by trying 5 different labels of local wine, accompanied by Cretan snacks.

We then head on to Mesavlia - Deliana Gorge, which is a unique example of wild Cretan nature. After the recent storms the road has been destroyed and all the scenery has changed. You will be able to take photos at gorge's entrance and a few minutes later you will enjoy the gorge's view from above. If your in luck you will see local mountain goats and watch the vultures fly from their nests up to the sky.
