Activity itinerary

Rodia

  • 10m
In Rodia, the experience focuses on capturing some of the most iconic views in Crete. You will enjoy a scenic drive through the traditional mountain village, followed by a **short photo stop** at a panoramic viewpoint. From this vantage point, you can see the Mediterranean Sea stretching all the way to the city of Heraklion. Additionally, the tour includes a brief stop outside the historic **Tower of Modino**, a significant Venetian-era landmark. This allows you to admire the medieval architecture and learn about the village's strategic importance in Cretan history before continuing the off-road journey.

Museum of Olive Tree & Oil Striligkas

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
At the olive oil museum, visitors step into the heart of Cretan tradition to discover the journey of the "liquid gold" that has defined the island for millennia. You will explore a curated collection of both ancient stone presses and modern machinery, providing a clear visual history of how olive oil production has evolved over the centuries. During the visit, you will learn about the different varieties of olives and the meticulous harvesting techniques used by local farmers. The experience concludes with a guided tasting session, where you can sample high-quality extra virgin olive oils, local honey, and other traditional Cretan products, learning how to identify the distinct aromas and flavours of the region.

Achlada

  • 20m
Step into the hauntingly beautiful village of **Achlada**, a settlement that feels as though time stopped decades ago. As you walk through its quiet, winding alleys, you will see traditional stone houses, many still housing old furniture and household items left behind by former residents. The village offers a striking contrast between the **crumbling ruins** of abandoned dwellings and the enduring Byzantine architecture of its local churches. Surrounded by rugged mountain scenery, it provides a powerful, atmospheric glimpse into Crete’s past and a peaceful break from the modern world.

Fodele

  • 20m
In the riverside village of Fodele, guests enjoy free time to explore one of Crete’s most verdant and historic locations. Known as the birthplace of the famous painter El Greco, the village is shaded by ancient plane trees and surrounded by fragrant orange and lemon groves. During the stop, visitors can wander through the narrow streets to discover traditional craft shops selling handmade lace and local woodwork. It is also the perfect opportunity to relax at a waterside cafe and taste the village’s famous, freshly squeezed orange juice, harvested directly from the surrounding orchards.
