Crete, island of a thousand flavours: from Chania to the Libyan Sea

You stay in charming boutique hotels and family guesthouses selected for their authenticity and comfort, in double rooms with private bathroom. Your luggage is transferred from stage to stage: you carry only a small bag with your daily essentials. Single room available with supplement.

Breakfasts included each morning. Dinners included at Omalos. For other meals, you choose freely from the tavernas and restaurants recommended in your route guide. Cretan cuisine is an art of living in itself: golden olive oil, mountain cheeses, wild herbs, grilled fish, thyme honey.

Walking days vary from 3 to 6 hours, on well-marked trails. The pace is designed to make the most of the scenery and alternate walking with swimming. The descent of Samaria Gorge (Day 8) is the longest day but remains gradual. Shorter alternatives are offered on several days to tailor the trip to your wishes.

From 2 people. Travel in complete freedom, at your own pace.

The trip begins on Day 1 at Chania airport and ends on Day 12 at the same airport.

Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are the ideal seasons: golden light, pleasant temperatures, peaceful trails. This is Crete at its most enchanting.
