Embark on an off-road adventure through a valley of orange trees, avocados, and gardens before climbing the White Mountains and exploring traditional Cretan villages. Enjoy a free coffee or mountain tea during a morning break in a serene village away from mass tourism. Travel off-road to the shepherd's hut "Mitato," at 1,350 meters altitude, offering breathtaking views of northern Crete and the chance to spot eagles and wild goats. Learn about the shepherd’s lifestyle and the famed Cretan “Graviera” cheese.

On the return journey, savor panoramic views of Chania from above before reaching Therisso village.
