Just 10 minutes by car from Rethymno, your journey begins in the charming village of Chromonastiri. Stroll through its quiet alleys and experience Cretan culture and everyday life, as your guide shares local history and stories that bring this small village to life.
Your guide will accompany you throughout the tour, offering insights, answering questions, and ensuring a smooth and friendly experience.
Continue your day with a gentle walk through the lush Mili Gorge, one of Crete’s most serene and shaded trails. This fairytale-like path follows the bed of a river surrounded by towering trees, rich vegetation, and birdsong.
Along the way, pass by abandoned stone houses, old Venetian watermills, and a hidden rock-hewn chapel, remnants of a rural life lost to time. It’s a peaceful, relaxing walk, perfect for nature lovers and photographers.
Next, explore the gorge of Agios Antonios in Patsos, a tranquil oasis where nature and history blend harmoniously. Follow a short trail shaded by plane trees, passing springs and streams, until you reach a small cave chapel carved into the rock—a sacred place of worship since the Minoan era.
This serene gorge invites you to relax and immerse yourself in authentic Cretan nature. Ancient ruins, flowing water, and birdsong accompany your free time, making it the ideal spot to reflect, enjoy a meal or drink under the plane trees by the river, and feel a deep connection with the island’s timeless landscape.
After a morning full of discoveries, comfortably return to Rethymno in the early afternoon, with a calm mind and your senses enriched.
