Starting from the hotel, we enjoy a beautiful route with a view of the entire northern Cretan Sea and end up at the shepherd's house where we will see many of the Cretan animals and participate in milking, but we will also learn how Cretan cheese is produced. We will be treated to olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, Cretan rusks and local raki. Then, we arrive at a local olive mill where we will be given all the information about the production of Cretan olive oil and at the same time we will have the opportunity to taste different types of olive oil and its products. We climb to altitude and cross traditional villages where we will see the way of life of the locals up close. Driving through olive groves, we end up at the STOTINOS CAVE where we will admire its hall and beauty. After the beautiful stop at the cave, we head to a sandy beach where we will have 40 minutes to enjoy the swim in the crystal-clear waters. Full of images of Crete, we return to the hotel.
