Heraklion was the most important city of the Minoan civilization. It means the glory of the goddess Hera. The Palace of Knossos, the oldest palatial complex in Europe, is in Heraklion.

Upon your arrival, you will collect your rental car and drive to your hotel.
Day 8 From Heraklion To Chania

Thanks to the rental car we have arranged for you in this program, you can set out on your adventure the way you have planned it and at your own pace. Chania is located in the western part of this incredible island and on your way there you will drive on well-maintained roads.

We suggest that you make your first stop at the Palace of Knossos, home to the legendary King Minos and the ferocious Minotaur. We also recommended visiting Rethymnon, a city nestled between breathtaking mountains and the deep blue of the Mediterranean.

During this trip from Heraklion to Chania you will have the chance to explore and get closer to the majestic interior of the island. Upon your arrival in Chania, you will check in at your hotel and enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Day 10 From Chania To Agia Galini
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

From Chania To Agia Galini

After a tasty breakfast, you will leave for Agia Galini, located in the south of the island. This was one of the first towns that emerged during the tourist boom in the 70s and, over the years, it began receiving more and more visitors. From there, you can visit the closest beaches, among which we suggest Preveli, a beautiful beach among palm trees, reeds, and small waterfalls. It is located at the mouth of the Megalopotamos river, which, in its last meters, flows almost parallel to the sea. Another beach that we suggest visiting is Matala, located in the bay of Messara, with beautiful calm waters. It is the same place where, according to Greek mythology, Zeus reached its shore in the form of a bull. It is known for its relaxed and positive atmosphere as well as the large limestone rocks along the beach. Hippies found their paradise in these caves and today they are open to visitors as an archaeological site, but it is forbidden to stay there overnight.

Total distance: 110 Km.
Day 11 From Agia Galini To Agios Nikolaos
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

From Agia Galini To Agios Nikolaos

After having an exquisite breakfast, you will resume your trip and head to Agios Nikolaos, located in the northeastern part of the island. We suggest taking the road that goes along the south coast and discover the towns located on the Libyan Sea, such as Ierapetra, whose name means "Sacred Stone". It was a city of vital importance in the Minoan Era, assailed by marauding pirates throughout its history. If you wish, you can take a ferry from there to Chrisi Island, whose natural landscape is dominated by cedar, golden sand and aquamarine waters. Additionally, if you prefer walking, you can head towards the Milonas waterfall, about 15 km from Ierapetra and accessed from a 3 km path. After visiting the beaches on the south of the island, you can resume your way to the north to reach Agios Nikolaos. This place is the starting point for the exploration of the eastern part of Crete.

Total distance: 167 Km.
Day 12 Enjoying Mirabello Bay
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Enjoying Mirabello Bay

After enjoying a tasty breakfast, you will have this day off to discover the beautiful Mirabello Bay and its surroundings. One of the best places in the city is Lake Voulismeni, which is linked to the sea by a canal. In its perimeter, you will also find cafes and restaurants that will allow you to enjoy the wonderful views. According to the Greek mythology, Athena and Artemis bathed in the waters of this lake. Until the 19th century, locals believed that the lake was bottomless and that it was inhabited by evil spirits, giving rise to numerous legends and superstitions. If you prefer to spend a day on the beach, we recommend going to Voulisma beach, a paradise of white sand and blue-green tropical waters located just 15 minutes away from Agios Nikolaos. A little further inland from Agios Nikolaos there is the small mountain town of Kritsa, known mostly for its numerous artisanal products.
Day 13 From Agios Nikolaos, Crete, To Athens. Goodbye Greece!
