Kick off your adventure from
Gazi as you head deep into the mountains toward the village of Krousonas. Here, you’ll dive straight into Cretan tradition with tastings of local olive oil and raki, followed by some free time to relax with a coffee while soaking in sweeping mountain views.
The journey intensifies as you climb higher toward the Livadi Plateau, driving through a wild landscape filled with apple orchards, ancient olive groves, and fragrant herbs that fill the air. Along the way, you’re likely to encounter curious mountain goats before reaching the impressive Sfendoni Cave. Inside, a hidden underground world awaits—filled with dramatic stalactites and stalagmites, fossilized formations, and unique wildlife.
With your appetite building, the adventure continues to the legendary village of Anogeia, perched on the rugged slopes of Psiloritis. Here, you’ll refuel with a hearty traditional lunch, accompanied by unlimited local wine (vegetarian options available). Afterward, take time to wander through the village, meet the locals, and experience the spirit of authentic mountain life.
As the day draws to a close, the off-road journey resumes, leading you to a breathtaking viewpoint overlooking the northern coast of
Heraklion—the perfect spot for unforgettable photos. Then, with memories of a day full of adventure, culture, and stunning scenery, you make your way back.
