What to Expect

Embark on a scenic journey starting with a comfortable bus ride from your designated pickup location to the charming southern town of Sfakia in Chania. Our modern bus is equipped with air conditioning, reclining seats, and an onboard restroom to ensure a pleasant trip. As you travel through the picturesque landscapes, you will be captivated by the beauty of Crete's rugged terrain and coastal views.

Dive into its clear turquoise waters, surrounded by rugged cliffs and a natural spring bubbling among the pebbles. Enjoy a relaxing 2-hour break to swim, enjoy a coffee, and take in the tranquil surroundings.

Next, your coastal exploration continues as you travel to Loutro, a picturesque village nestled amphitheatrically above its bay, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. Spend 3 hours wandering through Loutro's charming streets, dining at local restaurants, or simply relaxing by the sea. As the day draws to a close, return to Sfakia, where you can explore this quaint seaside village surrounded by untouched landscapes. It is a perfect conclusion to a day of discovery and relaxation.
