Overview

Join us on a journey through history and nature!
Meet your tour leader at Cretan Spiti Travel terminal in front of Hari’s Creperie, at 08:30, or at the Heraklion Port at 09:00 for cruise ship guests.
Our first stop is the archaeological site of Phaistos, a key city of the Minoan civilisation. You'll have 45 minutes of free time to explore and enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside.
Next, we head to the village of Matala, with its golden sandy beach, crystal-clear waters, and the famous caves carved into the cliffs. Spend 1 hour 45 minutes swimming, relaxing, or strolling through village’s colourful streets, full of history and character.
At 13:45, we arrive in the village of Zaros, known for its fresh spring water and natural beauty. Here, you’ll have 2 hours to enjoy an optional lunch of local specialities, take a walk by Lake Votomos, and visit the traditional watermills that mark the area’s heritage.
We return to Heraklion, arriving at the meeting point by 17:00.
