Private Therisos, Zourva and Meskla Day Trip from Chania
Overview
Make the most out of your stay in sun-soaked Crete and let your local driver show you around in a fully customizable tour!
Your tour will start from Therisos a small Cretan village, situated 16 km from Chania town. This village has a remarkable history about the independence of the Cretan people. The beautiful Thériso Gorge with its dramatic scenery can be seen from the road as it runs along the gorge for 6 km.
Then, you will head to Zourvas, located in the hinterland of Crete, 24 km away from the town of Chania. From there, a tarred but steep road leads to the border of Lefka Ori.
The next stop is Meskla, a small and quiet traditional village, situated in the Keritis Valley and has the traditional stone houses. Through the valley runs a river, and you can see the White Mountains on the horizon. The village of Meskla was destroyed during the Venetian period and also during the Turkish period.
At the end of the tour, your driver will drop you off at your hotel.
