Our first stop is at the village of Kritsa, famous for its long history since the era of the ancient city of LATO until the Ottoman times. The village features the important religious monument of Panagia KERA, which dates back to the 12th century.
We continue towards Katharo Plateau (altitude 1200m) through the cypress forest where we see goats, sheep and if we get lucky, we may even witness Cretan vultures in the wild. It is an excellent occasion to take photos of the MIRA A BELO Gulf, a name given by the Venetians and means “beautiful view”.
We then move southwards to Selakano forest, which is famous for the unique, high quality honey that is produced there.
We will cool off at Sarakina Gorge, a gorge of easy access for all. Photos of this breathtaking landscape will impress your friends.
We continue towards the southernmost point in Europe, that is, the fishing village of Myrtos. It is time for a swim, shopping or a cup of tea by the Libyan Sea.

Nikos was the best guide and can talk in 8 languages! Knows a lot about plants and can tell you about them. Very funny and intelligent, I felt safe with Nikos driving and he stopped in all of the beautiful places!
In latvian- Nikos bija ļoti jauks un atraktīvs gids, pastāstīja daudz par augiem un dažādām vietām, brauc droši un mašīna ir ļoti ērta! 100% iesaku!!!

We did two safari trips with George - Knossos and Sarakina Gorge during our holiday in Crete.
George was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. We loved both of our days spent with him and would recommend these trips without hesitation.
If you are interested in discovering more about the island of Crete, this is a must. You have a chance to see parts of the island you would not otherwise experience and sample authentic Cretan cooking which was delicious!
Highly recommend and ask for George!
