Overview
Join us for a trip to south Crete. The first stop will be the archaeological site of Gournia. It is the site of a Minoan palace complex . It was first permanently inhabited during the Early Minoan II periods (approx. between 2650-2100 BC) and was occupied until the Late Minoan I period (approx. between 1700-1470 BC).
Then we continue your tour to Ierapetra city, where your guests can visit Napoleon’s House, Fortress of Kales and the Mosque with a Minaret.
Let your adventure begin by visiting Mythoi village, the spectacular Gorge of Sarakina. According to Greek Mythology, giant Sarantapihos, who was son of Zeus, was thirsty and crouched to drink water from river Krygios or Myrtos. His long beard ripped the mount rock in half and that's how Saracen gorge was created.
But the trip will be completed by visiting an amazing traditional restaurant up to the mountains in Agia Paraskevi. Maybe one of the most authentic Cretan restaurants.
