Full description Discover Crete’s authentic charm on a private tour designed to immerse you in the island’s culture, history, and natural beauty. Meet your guide at the Cretan Spiti Travel terminal in Heraklion before heading to Zaros, a picturesque village renowned for its spring water, Byzantine monasteries, and the serene emerald-green Lake Votomos, surrounded by lush landscapes perfect for walking.

Continue to the traditional village of Vatos, nestled in greenery, where you’ll stroll through narrow alleys, visit the old school and its historic fountain, and explore a small museum displaying traditional farming tools. You’ll also stop at a local cauldron to learn about the production of Crete’s famous alcoholic drink, raki.

The next stop is Spili, known for its Venetian fountain with 25 lion-head spouts that pour fresh mountain water. Enjoy an optional lunch before visiting Lampini to explore the church and museum of Panagia, adorned with remarkable 12th and 14th-century frescoes.

Finally, travel to the Gorge of St. Anthony for a scenic walk along a lush trail leading to the cave of the saint. The tour concludes around 18:30 with a return to the Cretan Spiti Travel terminal.
