Obviously you don't want to leave Crete without experiencing, what my friends describe this tour as a "magical and warm atmosphere "! This tour includes: •Traditional breakfast -Tasting the famous sfakiani pie and drinking the Cretan tea (malotira) -3 different local cheeses,dakos, Cretan sausages, village eggs, fresh orange juice and of course raki! •Swimming next to an ancient castle,with a chilling myth! •Dinner at the Kournas lake, the biggest lake of Crete! If you want to escape the normal routes and experience the true Cretan countryside then it’s time for your best summer experience! I will pick you up from your designated spot. Our first stop is a small beautiful village at the Cretan mountains where Mrs. Margarita will make us a delicious local breakfast. There we will also enjoy the famous raki (alcoholic drink originating in Crete) . From this amazing route we cannot miss the sea side village Sfakia and our final stop which is a must is the village next to Crete's most beautiful lake!
