Take a leisurely exploration of amazing and fascinating scenery driving from the northern part of the island to southern Crete and the Libyan See. This is a perfect tour for travellers who just want to have a relaxing laid back day filled with many sights and swimming along the way. Our first stop takes us to the island Capital Heraklion. Here we will visit the gypsy market, which is the biggest and busiest open market in Crete. A drive in the centre of the city follows.
Next, we'll travel inland and visit the scenic lake of Zaros, which is where the famous mineral water comes from and is considered one of the best bottled waters in Greece. A delicious lunch follows next to the lake. Next we visit the botana mountain herb market, where every herb tells a story of healing and a sustainable way of living, infused with hope and optimism. Our final destination is the village of Matala which is famous for its intriguing network of caves, carved into the sandstone cliffs by the sea.

​Once a Roman burial site, these caves became a refuge for hippies during the 1960s infusing Matala with a laid back and free spirit feeling that is felt to this day. You will have free time to lay back and enjoy a swim in the See of Crete and also to enjoy a coffee with a spectacular view in the village of Matala.
