Hiking on the Lasithi Plateau with a visit to Psychro Cave: After breakfast, we begin our exciting day with a short transfer to the Lasithi Plateau. Our subsequent hike starts from the village of Tzermiado and leads us through the beautiful Nissimos Valley to the summit of the sacred mountain Karfi. Here we take a break and enjoy spectacular views of the northern coast of Crete and a Minoan settlement.

On our way back to Tzermiado, we make a detour to the Psychro Cave (Diktaion Andron), where, according to Greek mythology, the father of the gods Zeus was born. A perfect place for some exciting stories about the world of the ancient Greek gods! Afterwards, return to the hotel and free time.

Kayak tour and visit to the island of Spinalonga: Today we head for the coast! After a transfer to Elounda Bay in north-eastern Crete, we are given a safety briefing and taught the correct paddling technique. And off we go out to sea in two-person kayaks! Enjoy the feeling of silently gliding through the water and watching the world float by. Our day’s destination is the island of Spinalonga.

As soon as we have reached the island’s beach, there is time to enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea. We then explore the massive Venetian castle complex on foot, which was once a leper colony.

Afterwards, we return to Elounda and spend some time in the bay. Feel free to enjoy the time as you please: Swimming or sunbathing, building a sandcastle, or trying out some water sports activities (at an extra charge) such as windsurfing, water skiing, or the banana boat. The next few hours will fly by. In the late afternoon, we return to the hotel.

Climbing and Swimming in Agiofarango: A new day, a new adventure! Today the south coast is on the agenda. Our destination is the impressively beautiful Agiofarango Gorge, which translated means “Gorge of the Saints”. It was once a retreat for the monks living in the nearby monasteries. Today this natural wonder enchants every visitor with its high limestone cliffs, the river that flows through it, and the dream-like beach that is the well-deserved reward at the end of our hike through the gorge.

Here there are climbing routes for all levels, so everyone who wants to go climbing can find something that suits them. Your guide is on hand to give useful tips and advice. If you don’t want to climb, simply walk to the bay and enjoy the sound of the waves and take a dip in the crystal-clear sea! We return to the hotel in the afternoon.

Today is yours to do with as you please: After so much action, we have planned a day for individual leisure activities. Your guide is happy to give you recommendations.

Would you like some culture? How about a visit to the famous palace of Knossos or the fantastic archaeological museum in Heraklion? Maybe you’d like to visit the Cretan marine aquarium? A mountain bike tour or river hike, a horse-riding trip or cooking class or even a beginner’s canyoning tour in the Tsoutsouros Gorge are all possibilities (optional, extra charge).

Sailing trip to the island of Dia: Pirate flair is on the agenda today! A short transfer brings us to the port of Heraklion, where we board our sailing yacht. After an introduction to the safety equipment and the procedures on the yacht, the sails are hoisted and off we go.

Our destination is the uninhabited island of Dia, about 10 nautical miles from Heraklion. Would you like to become sailors yourselves? The crew are always happy to show you the most important sailing techniques and you are welcome to help sail the ship! Once on Dia, there is plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling, and fishing.

Afterwards, we sail back to Heraklion and return to our hotel.

Another day for you: Today is also scheduled as a free day and you can decide for yourself how you would like to spend it. Would you like to simply relax and enjoy the tranquillity of your accommodation? Or choose from the options described under Day 5? It’s up to you!

Departure: Unfortunately, your adventure holiday on Crete comes to an end today. We transfer you back to Heraklion Airport in time for your return flight. Individual journey home or extension of your Greek holiday.
