  • Vamos is a charming traditional village where you can experience the quieter, more authentic side of Crete. Walk through narrow lanes, see old stone houses, blooming courtyards, and everyday village life that still moves at a slower pace. This stop offers a warm introduction to Cretan culture, simplicity, and hospitality — far from the busy tourist areas.
  • Visit the atmospheric Monastery of St. George, a peaceful 17th-century site hidden in the Cretan countryside. Once an important religious and agricultural center, it still preserves beautiful stone architecture and the remains of an old olive press. Surrounded by olive groves and silence, this short stop offers a memorable glimpse into Crete’s monastic history and rural heritage.
  • Kanakis Olive Mill
    Enjoy a flavorful stop at a family-owned olive oil factory, where you’ll discover one of Crete’s most treasured traditions. Learn how extra virgin olive oil is produced, from olive grove to bottle, and enjoy a guided tasting of fresh local oils. It’s a simple, authentic, and delicious way to connect with Cretan culture through its most iconic product.
  • Chania Town
    Explore Chania Old Town, one of the most beautiful and atmospheric places in Crete.
