At 8.30 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Rethymno and head south to visit stunning locations such as Spili, the Patsos grotto, and Plakias beach.

Onboard a comfortable minibus, we'll travel through the nature of Crete until we reach the Patsos grotto, a gorge with over 80 species of vegetation and 24 species of wildlife, many protected. We will also see the small church nestled in the rock.

Our excursion will continue south, stopping at a viewpoint for a scenic overview of Rethymno. We'll arrive at the Botanical Garden, where we will have 40 minutes to explore its interior and discover the native plants and flowers of Crete.

Next is Spili, a mountain village known for its spring water, cobblestone streets, and historic houses. We will visit the Folklore Museum to learn about Cretan culture.

Finally, we will pass through the Kourtaliotis canyon to reach Plakias beach, where you will have free time for lunch and swimming in the crystal-clear waters before concluding the tour.
