. Our Day starts from Rethymnon city heading south east passing through traditional villages of Milopotamos and an area with dense vegetation, fresh aromas and unique views. The amazing field and views continues until we reach the historic Halepa Monastery, that use to be a refuge for Cretan rebels during civil wars and our second stop takes places. The unique view from the monastery is a great spot for pictures combing the highest mountain tops of Crete and a farming valley.

It was a great and eventful trip, away from the tourist routes. Our driver Niko entertained us fantastically, gave us lots of information about Crete and made the trip a very entertaining experience.
We were picked up directly from the hotel in a Land Rover. From there we went to a honey museum with a very interesting tour, then we drove along an adventurous gravel road to a small farm. There we were allowed to milk goats and the milk was made into cream cheese on site. Very interesting and above all tasty. From there we drove to a tavern for lunch. On the way we were lucky enough to see the bearded vultures that live there in the wild. An impressive experience to see the magnificent birds with a 2.50 m wingspan circling above you.
