Begin your day with a visit to Argiroupoli, one of Crete’s most charming mountain villages. Take a short walk to explore both the upper square and the famous natural springs below – a refreshing and scenic start to the day.
Continue west and arrive in Chania, the island’s most beloved city. Enjoy 3 hours of free time to wander through its historic alleys, visit the old port, shop local, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere.
On your return route, stop at Lake Kournas, Crete’s only natural freshwater lake. Take a dip, rent a paddle boat, or just relax with a drink by the shore – the perfect spot to cool off for 2 hours before heading back.
