Seven Villages of Apokoronas Tour
Seven Villages of Apokoronas Tour
Leaving Apokoronas first thing in the morning, you'll head on your way to Aptera. Accompanied by your English-speaking guide, you'll explore the historic Ottoman fortress and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Souda Bay.
Driving through the beautiful natural surroundings of Aptera, you'll head to your next stop: Gavalochori. To delve deep into Cretan culture, you'll visit the Historical & Folklore Museum where the island's fascinating traditions and important handcrafted objects will be revealed. You'll also get to see a demonstration of the local special knitting technique known as Kopaneli.
The tour will continue to the tiny hamlet of Xirosterni, where you'll visit a local 'raki' distillery producing the island's finest spirit. You'll then stop in Vrises, where you can enjoy a well-deserved Greek coffee by the riverside.
After a relaxing break, you'll arrive in Emprosneros. This picturesque village is home to the ruins of Alidakis and a hidden church built into the rock. In this village, you'll also be able to taste famous Cretan cheese in all its local varieties: graviera, mizithra, and anthotyros.
You'll then see Vafes, Vatoudiatis and Alikampos before your final destination: Fres. Here you'll be able to immerse yourself in Cretan rural life and get to know the island's intriguing myths and legends. You'll also enjoy a delicious meal in a Greek tavern.
Following an exciting six to six and a half hours of exploring the villages of Apokoronas, you'll head back to your hotels.
