White Mountains Safari with Tastings

Begin your day with a pickup from your Chania hotel, setting the stage for a full day of exploration. Your expert local guide will first take you to the quaint village of Ano Vouves. Here, behold the ancient olive tree, estimated to be 3,000-5,000 years old. Learn about the history of olive oil production as you enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee, tea, or fresh orange juice. Next, journey to Anoskeli village where you’ll delve into the world of Cretan flavors. At Anoskeli’s olive mill and winery, local sommeliers will guide you through tastings of five different wines and extra virgin olive oil, accompanied by local products like mizithra and graviera cheeses. After your tasting session, prepare for a more rugged adventure as your guide navigates off-road tracks through Sebronas Gorge, leading you to the Omalos Plateau. At an altitude of 1000 meters, marvel at the sight of shepherds tending their flocks year-round. Here, savor a traditional Cretan lunch featuring seasonal salads, local wine or beer, and delicious desserts, all while taking in the panoramic views of the Samaria Gorge. The return journey offers a captivating scenic drive. Enjoy the changing landscapes, from rugged mountains to valleys bursting with orange, lemon, olive, and avocado trees. Conclude your memorable day with a relaxing drop-off at your hotel in Chania.
