Day 1: Heraklion
Individual arrival in Crete. Transfer to the first accommodation included. Followed by general information about the trip.
Day 2: Heraklion/Dafnes – Dyskos, approx. 58 km
We start from Siva heading south. After 12 km, we visit the Roman tombs in the village of Agios Thomas and take our first break. We then reach the village of Apesokari at the foot of the Asteroussia Mountains on a route with little traffic. We continue uphill along a picturesque, winding road and later downhill to the fishing village of Lentas. The rock above the village in the shape of a lion (Leontas) gives the village its name. We drive past Lentas to the small village of Dyskos, where the sea invites us for a refreshing swim. At Mrs. Voula’s you can enjoy the fantastic panorama with cold drinks and a sumptuous lunch.
Day 3: Dyskos – Tris Ekklisies, approx. 45 km
We first drive 9 km uphill to the village of Krotos. Then we head east along the foothills of the Asteroussia Mountains past many villages for around 30 km until we reach the village of Charakas. From here, we head south uphill to an altitude of 630 m, until the Libyan Sea spreads out impressively before us. With a breathtaking view, we drive 5 km downhill and have the turquoise blue sea within our grasp. The smell of thyme and sage and the buzzing of bees accompany us throughout the descent. Panagiotis and his wife Marinela await us in their taverna right on the beach at Tris Ekklisies, where we enjoy Cretan cuisine.
Day 4: Tris Ekklisies – Mochos, approx. 50 km
Today we are driven by minibus to the village of Choudetsi. Our route from Choudetsi to Mochos leads through one of the most fertile regions of Crete. We are in an extraordinary wine region. Green hills and countless vineyards characterize the landscape. First we visit the impressive ceramics workshop of Kostas in the village of Thrapsanó. We then drive over the mountains to the picturesque village of Avdou, where we take a break. We then continue uphill towards Mochos, an idyllic village on the way to the fascinating Lassithi plateau. In Mochos, Varvara and Jorgos welcome us with homemade traditional delicacies in their taverna "Odysseas".
Day 5: Mochos – Istro, approx. 71 km
From Mochos, we drive 12 km uphill eastwards to the Lassithi plateau. The attractions of the plateau are the windmills, the Zeus cave, which is said to be the birthplace of the father of all the gods of Olympus, the variety of extremely tasty vegetables and the aromatic potatoes and apples. Our journey towards the Cretan Sea takes us along an idyllic route and offers a fascinating view of the other side of the plateau. We cross an impressive landscape that makes up for the 25 km descent. We then continue downhill via the beautiful mountain village of Kritsa to our destination of Istro.
Day 6: Istro – Myrtos – Kyparissi, approx. 47 km
We head south and cross the southernmost mountains in Europe until we reach an altitude of 700 meters. From here we can see the southernmost town in Europe, Ierapetra. Numerous greenhouses characterize this area, fascinating and alarming at the same time. We continue uphill for 24 km, passing through the idyllic mountain villages of Prina, Kalamafka, Anatolì and Males. After 32 km, we take a break under the shady plane trees at the impressive church of Agia Paraskevi. We enjoy the rushing spring water as a refreshing drink, the traditional cheese of the shepherd Theofilos and other culinary delights. We then continue downhill to the coastal village of Myrtos, where the Libyan Sea invites us to swim. In the evening, we have a farewell dinner together at Jannis in the village of Kyparissi.
