Coffee or mountain tea will be offered for free to our guests enjoying the village life far away from mass tourism. Continuing our tour following the off road route up to the shepherd’s hut “Mitato” far away from touristic areas, where only a 4 wheel driver can approach, you will enjoy the magnificent panoramic view of northern Crete and, If we are lucky … eagles and wild goats will show up and give us a very good reason for some extra photo stops. A small rocky road will lead us up to our trip’s highest point 1350 meters in altitude in the heart of White Mountains of Crete, where you will find out all about the lifestyle of a shepherd, where the famous Cretan “Graviera” cheese was produced and explore an original Shepherd's hut ““Mitato”“.
On our way back we will enjoy the best panoramic view of Chania from above, until we arrive at Therisso village for a short walk around the historic village and a visit in a small Cretan family tavern for our lunch.
After our break we will follow the road through the amazing gorge of Therisso that will lead us to the city of Chania.
