Get ready for activities too as we milk the goat, feed the animals, and more!

Having had a good taste of Crete, we continue the exploration by crossing the river and the village gardens with aromas from the orange and olive groves until we reach our next stop at the Aposelemis Dam, where we will see the submerged village of Sfentyli in the waters of the most important water project in Crete!
