Kourtaliotiko Gorge – A Majestic Beginning: Our journey begins with pick-up from your hotel in Rethymno, heading towards the impressive Kourtaliotiko Gorge, where we make our first stop to admire the dramatic cliffs and breathtaking views from above. The scenery sets the tone for a day filled with natural wonder and “beyond the ordinary” exploration.

Agios Paisios – Panoramic Serenity: We continue to our second stop at Agios Paisios Church, perched on a serene hillside overlooking Damnoni. Here, you’ll enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the South Cretan bays and the rugged mountain landscapes that define this majestic region. The visit to the small chapel is truly breathtaking and, combined with the peaceful location, offers a uniquely selected spot for reflection and relaxation.

Traditional Villages & Scenic Countryside Roads: Our route then leads us through traditional villages and narrow countryside roads before reaching the South Coast at Kato Preveli. From this point, the safari adventure transitions into an off-road coastal drive, following a scenic seaside trail toward Triopetra, a route blessed with crystal-clear waters, wild coastal beauty, untouched landscapes and ideal spots for memorable photos.

Mikri Triopetra – Coastal Bliss & Crystal Waters: The highlight of the day awaits at Mikri Triopetra, where we stop for two and a half hours of relaxation and swimming in a charming small bay. Here you will find sunbeds, umbrellas, a shower, and nearby restaurants, should you wish to serve yourself with anything extra you may need. Enjoy the tranquility of this unspoiled beach and savour a curated Cretan snack featuring local flavours that complete the experience.
