Why take this tour?

Feel free to rappel down the steep canyon wall next to the waterfall and try adrenaline jumps in the water as many times as you wish. Our specialized instructors and guides will be next to you at all times to ensure your safety and guide you through the different activities. Hiking towards the south, we discover a small cave called “the fairy cave” – if you are lucky enough, you may see one hiding behind the stalactites and stalagmites! We will hike for about half an hour more to find the best spot for our next stop. After a 15 min. drive we arrive above the most famous destination of the south coast of Rethymno. Admire Kourtaliotis' mouth, flowing through a dense palm forest and into the crystal clear waters of the Libyan sea! We walk down about 500 stone steps to get to the beach where you have free time to swim, relax and maybe walk around between the palm trees. In the afternoon we walk back up the steps to access our vehicles.

About operator:

We specialize in creating unique experiences, such as organizing excursions to remote traditional villages, so to give to our visitors the opportunity to interact with the locals and learn about their culture and habits. We invite you to witness the activities of the genuine Cretan life, such as harvesting soil and producing traditional products like wine, raki, cheese, traditional rusks, honey, olive oil... the list goes on! We always try to give our guests a warm experience, therefore most of our excursions are in small groups; that is because we value the personal feeling that mass tourism fails to deliver. Apart from daily trips to villages and natural landscapes, we give our guests the opportunity to organize a trip that will suit them 100%. By getting in contact, we can discuss and design the perfect one-day or multi-day trip for you. Therefore, we can personalize every experience depending on the taste, the wishes and the needs of each of our visitors.
