After a break, you'll arrive in Emprosneros, home to the ruins of Alidakis and a hidden church in the rock. You will have the chance to taste various types of Cretan cheese: graviera, mizithra, and anthotyros.

You’ll also see Vafes, Vatoudiatis, and Alikampos before reaching your final destination, Fres. Here, you will immerse in Cretan rural life and learn about local myths, concluding with a meal in a Greek tavern.
