Half-day excursion with professional local travel Guide

type: hiking private tour, up to 6 people,
duration: 5–6 hours;

Crete has an uncountable amount of gorges. Some famous-like Samaria- some unknown by tourist crowds, but not less impressive! Al the gorges have their own charms and difficulty levels.

We would like to take you to the aria of Kissamos to the gorge of Polyrinnia.

Halfway there is a resting point in the shadow of the trees, next to the river. Almost at the end of the gorge, we will pass from an old bridge builded at the Venetian occupation.

The Driver will pick you up from the road for 5 minutes during transfer to the village Polyrinnia, which is situated at an altitude of 400 m.

We will visit the small village which has been builded with the materials that remained from the archeological city of Polyrinnia. There has been a renovation of the ancient aqua duct and we can see a lot of old-style houses and an old olive factory which is not in use anymore.

We can visit the workshop of Mr. George; he is making the most beautiful things from olive tree wood. We can have a small break in the shadow.

Returning to your accommodation, there is possibility to stop somewhere at a small tavern.

FLORA and FAUNA

In the gorge, you will meet a lot of trees such as olive, plane, chestnut and a lot of species.
We are mostly lucky to see the Griffons flying above our heads.

NOTES
