All Inclusive Full-day Private Tour of Crete Villages from Chania
Overview
Discover the heart of Crete on an all-inclusive private tour through its traditions and landscapes, with warm local hospitality.
Begin at historic Aptera Fortress, overlooking Souda Bay. Visit a family-owned olive oil mill for a tour and tasting, then explore Cretan life at the Gavalochori Folklore Museum. Enjoy coffee at a traditional café and visit the peaceful Monastery of Saint Georgios. Complete your day with a local wine tasting or lunch at a traditional restaurant.
This tour also runs in winter, with an itinerary adapted to the weather and seasonal opening hours. The winter route focuses on views from Aptera, an olive oil mill if open, coffee and Cretan snacks at a village café, the monastery and a winery. If you'd rather skip the winery, we'll happily adjust the day.
Discover Crete's scenery, flavours and everyday life at your own pace. Enjoy a personal experience designed for everyone, with a wheelchair-accessible vehicle for a comfortable and relaxing journey.
