Step Into the Heart of Traditional Crete

The Apokoronas Tour is a journey through Crete’s most picturesque villages, where time seems to slow down, and authentic Cretan culture thrives. Located in the foothills of the White Mountains, this region is famous for its traditional stone-built houses, olive groves, and stunning natural landscapes.

Your journey begins in Vamos, a beautifully preserved village that offers a glimpse into Crete’s past. Here, you can walk through narrow cobblestone streets, admire old Venetian mansions, and visit local artisans who still practice traditional crafts.

From there, the tour takes you through several charming villages such as Gavalochori, Armeni, and Kalyves, each offering a unique cultural experience. In Gavalochori, you’ll visit the Folklore Museum, where you’ll learn about traditional Cretan life, weaving techniques, and historical artifacts. In Armeni, a village surrounded by plane trees and natural springs, you can enjoy a peaceful walk and a refreshing drink in a traditional kafeneio.

The final stop is in Kalyves, a coastal village where you can relax by the sea or enjoy a meal at a family-run taverna serving fresh, locally sourced dishes.
