Step off the beaten path and dive into the true spirit of Crete with our Psiloritis Trails Tour—a full-day journey through breathtaking nature, traditional villages, and timeless culture. This unique tour invites you to experience Crete like a local, guided by the rhythms of the land and the warmth of its people.
Our adventure begins in the traditional village of Krousonas, where you’ll enjoy a peaceful walk through charming stone-paved streets. Take in the village life and, if you like, enjoy a coffee at one of the local cafés to start the day at your own pace.
From there, we set off on an off-road ascent alongside the dramatic Krousonas Gorge. Winding through rugged, unpaved paths, this thrilling drive showcases the wild beauty of the Cretan mountains.
At the top, we arrive at the Livadi Plateau, a haven of peace and natural beauty. Here, you’ll have the chance to observe the island’s unique landscape and perhaps spot griffon vultures gliding overhead.
Next, we visit “O Topos tou Voskou” (The Shepherd’s Place)—a beautifully curated space that brings traditional Cretan life to light. See firsthand the tools and practices of generations past, from the hand mill and loom to the authentic shepherd’s hut. Coffee is available here as well for those who want to pause and take it all in.
Our journey continues to Zoniana, home to the spectacular Sfendoni Cave. You’ll have free time to join a guided cave tour or relax at a local café nearby. This natural wonder, filled with impressive formations, offers a glimpse into Crete’s geological history.
Then it’s time to enjoy a well-deserved break with a traditional Cretan meal at a local restaurant in the village of Anogia—complete with local wine included!
After lunch, we will take a walk to Anogia village, one of the island’s most storied villages. Walk its lively streets, meet the locals, and feel the heartbeat of Cretan culture in every corner.Before returning, we make a final stop at Voulismeno Aloni, also a great opportunity for a scenic viewpoint offering panoramic vistas in a hidden place of Crete—perfect for capturing the beauty of your day in a photo.
