The route includes passages through olive groves and traditional villages, smells of wild flowers and herbs ending in the authentic beaches of the South Cretan Sea. We start from Rethymno at 8:30 and after 35 min. we arrive and start from the dam of the rivers collecting amazing photos from the lake. The lake has a capacity of 23 million cubic meters and is one of the most important wetlands in the southeast Mediterranean, with many species of birds and animals being recorded in the area. While just 15 minutes away, we will stop in the magnificent gorge of Agios Antonios with the small church in the rocky cave, in a green environment. The impressive gorge of Agios Antonios is in the midland of the regional unit of Rethymno. Then we will pass through some traditional villages and we will stop to take pictures at the higher point of the area, viewing the North and the South Rethymno and the two highest mountains of Crete. Τhen we will visit a botanical garden for a 40-minutes guided tour. You will discover plants and flowers of Crete, famous for their healing properties. We continue towards Spili (a famous village for its natural springs), we will visit the folklore museum and we will have free time for coffee. As long as we cross the imposing gorge of Kourtaliotis we will move towards Plakias beach for swimming and food with a view to the South Cretan Sea or Libyan.

Leuke excursie als je iets meer van het eiland wil zien . Ik had liever het Preveli klooster bezocht dan de kruidentuin , maar dat is persoonlijk .
