Description
Discover through traditional villages tour, beautiful and scenic traditional villages! Mountain settlements, customs, people, traditions, leaving behind the bustling coastline. The inland of Crete…
reveals the most authentic aspects of the true Cretan temperament. Crete is not just the coast. The “true” Crete, as the Cretans themselves say at least, starts from the inland, from the mountains and the mountainous settlements. There the tradition and the culture of the island were forged. Taste the Cretan hospitality throughout the island. The Cretan soul often reaches the point of exaggeration in the prowess and passion of its inhabitants for freedom. Courage, power, love for the country and their nature, even in their hospitality to foreigners. With this tour, you will admire the real Crete… As a result, nothing belongs to Cretan, his home is the entire Cretan land and none of them has any limits.
Surely, this traditional village tour will fascinate you, as it will remind older people of many situations of the past, but it will also teach young people the trivial life of another era!
