Overview

Discover the ancient wonders of Crete on a private, customisable journey through history and nature. Begin at Gortys, once the Roman capital of Crete, home to Europe’s oldest legal code and ruins from the Doric, Roman, and Byzantine periods. Continue to Phaistos, the second-largest Minoan palace, with panoramic views and the famous undeciphered Phaistos Disc. Then visit Agia Triada, the site of a Minoan Royal Villa and town, rich in archaeological significance.

Enjoy a relaxing break in the seaside village of Matala, where you can swim in the clear Libyan Sea, explore cliffside caves once used by hippies, and have lunch at a local taverna.

100% Private & Customisable – Adjust the itinerary and time at each stop.

Hotel Pickup & Drop-off – Professional English-speaking driver.

End your day with a scenic ride back to Heraklion, filled with memories of Crete’s ancient heritage and coastal charm.
