All about the trip

Traversing the Fragrant Orange Valleys: Our expedition begins in Chania, leading us southward to traverse the expansive orange valley. Amidst the fragrant orchards and farmlands, we'll weave through Varipetros, Agia, Alikianos, and Fournes, each village a reservoir of distinct aromas and cultural nuances.

Off-Road Adventure: Elevating to 1000 meters, our journey intensifies along the heart of the White Mountains. Navigating shepherd's paths and untamed terrain, the panoramic views of wild vegetation, grazing livestock, and awe-inspiring landscapes invigorate the senses.

Spectacular Summit Views: At 1680 meters above sea level, Kallergi Refuge offers an unparalleled overlook of Samaria Gorge and the Libyan Sea, a breathtaking

reward for our off-road adventure.

Culinary Treasures at Omalos Plateau: Resting at Omalos Plateau, a traditional Cretan tavern awaits, indulging our senses with local delicacies and authentic platters, providing a taste of the region's culinary heritage.

**(Please Note: The cost of lunch during the tour is not included in the price. Participants are encouraged to budget for food purchases during the lunch stop.)

Lakkoi's Historical Charm: Meandering through the historically rich village of Lakkoi, we pause for picturesque snapshots and insights into its cultural tapestry before concluding our unforgettable journey.

This off-road odyssey through Crete's island and Samaria National Park intertwines natural splendor, cultural encounters, and culinary delights, leaving indelible

memories of a diverse and captivating expedition.

**In winter, December to March, snowy mountains may alter our route. If the Samaria Gorge mountains are snow-blocked, we head to Xiloskalo's entrance and alternate off-road paths through villages become our scenic route.
