Immerse yourself in the natural splendor and cultural charm of Crete, Greece, on this unique journey to Sarakina Gorge. This is your ticket to tranquility amidst the bustling life surrounding the port of Agios Nikolaos.

The tour perfectly balances natural splendor with cultural exploration. You'll first venture to an authentic olive oil farm for a tasting, followed by a stop at the charming Kritsa village. A museum visit introduces you to the rich world of Crete's herbs before you commence your gorge adventure.

Located near the quaint village of Mythi, Sarakina Gorge’s awe-inspiring narrow canyon boasts 150 meter-high limestone walls adorned with small waterfalls and lush vegetation. At its base, a serene stream flows, which you will follow on a visually stunning, memorable journey.
