Itinerary
Begin your journey into the heart of the White Mountains, where rugged landscapes and high-altitude views reveal a different side of Crete. At the Kallergi Refuge (1,680 m), take in panoramic vistas stretching across the mountains and toward the southern coast. The fresh alpine air and dramatic scenery make this one of the island’s most breathtaking viewpoints.
Continue along the mountain route to a scenic viewpoint overlooking the legendary Samaria Gorge. From here, you’ll witness the scale and raw beauty of Crete’s most famous gorge, with steep cliffs and vast landscapes unfolding below—an unforgettable perspective without the full hike.
Drive across the open landscapes of the Omalos Plateau, a high mountain plain surrounded by the peaks of the Lefka Ori. This quiet and expansive setting offers a glimpse into traditional mountain life, where shepherding, local agriculture, and seasonal rhythms still shape the region.
Descend from the mountains to the Botanical Park & Gardens of Crete, a unique ecological park filled with Mediterranean and exotic plants. Walk through landscaped paths surrounded by herbs, fruit trees, and vibrant vegetation. After exploring the gardens, you’ll have the option to enjoy a traditional farm-to-table lunch at the garden’s restaurant. Choose whatever you prefer from the menu and enjoy fresh, seasonal Cretan flavors in a beautiful natural setting. Please note: Lunch is optional and is not included in the tour price. Guests pay directly at the restaurant according to their individual choices.
