Venture to the Forgotten Corners of East Crete
Lassithi isn’t meant to be seen—it’s meant to be discovered. Behind every corner, a secret waits. Behind every trail, a story calls. This is Crete unfiltered—where monks bottle history in wine, ancient cities rise from the dust, and mythical landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see.
Forget the usual. Our curated jeep tours are your ticket into East Crete’s most untamed corners, where the wild and the timeless converge in an intoxicating mix of history, nature, and raw beauty.
With local guides leading the way, you’ll venture through hidden gorges that hum with life, across olive groves older than empires, and past beaches that carry the spirit of Crete’s ancient past. This is Crete as it was meant to be—wild, legendary, and unforgettable.
This is for the explorers. The seekers. The ones who come to Crete not just to visit, but to reconnect, unplug, and rediscover.
Are you ready to leave the map behind? Let’s go.

Timeless Trails of East Crete: Wines Forged by Monks, Ruins Lost to Time, and Hidden Shores
Forget the maps. Come with us and take trails that weren’t made for the timid. Begin at the imposing Moni Toplou Monastery, where monks have perfected the art of winemaking for centuries. With exclusive access, taste their bold, earthy wines—each sip a link to Crete’s rugged land and sacred traditions.
From here, your private guide takes you to the ancient ruins of Itanos, a forgotten port city where the past speaks through crumbled walls and weathered stones. Beyond lies a secret beach—dive into crystal-clear waters that feel made just for you.
As the landscape shifts, you arrive at Vai Palm Beach. Here, soft sands meet turquoise waters, and the rustle of palm leaves creates a peaceful rhythm. This lush oasis offers a striking contrast to the rugged history explored earlier, inviting you to pause and simply breathe.
In Mochlos, step into a postcard of 1960s Greece. Waterfront tavernas with octopus drying in the sun set the scene. Indulge in the freshest seafood, straight from the Aegean, paired with wines that echo the island’s warmth and authenticity.
End the day at the Kavousi ancient olive tree, a 3,000-year-old monument to resilience. Beneath its branches, feel the wisdom of Crete’s enduring spirit.
These trails lead to places untouched by crowds—where you’re invited to pause, reflect, and breathe in Crete’s essence.
Step off the map and uncover East Crete’s untamed secrets with us.
Legends of East Crete: Taste the Land, Walk the Wild, Uncover the Past
What if the land could speak? In East Crete, its legends echo through every olive grove, every stone, and every untamed path.
At the Kritsa Olive Mill, the tasting begins with golden oil on your tongue—alive with the spirit of the land. These trees, older than kingdoms, whisper their stories into every drop. It’s not just olive oil tour—it’s Crete itself, pressing its legacy into your hands.
From the olive groves, venture with our local insider into Richtis Gorge, where the wild heart of Crete pulses through shaded paths and lush greenery. A serene waterfall awaits, its cool waters inviting you to pause and reconnect with nature.
Next, journey to the Venetian Cornaros Tower near Mochlos, a historic gem rising above the sea, evoking tales of another time. From here, enjoy a leisurely lunch in Mochlos, a picturesque fishing village where fresh seafood and authentic Cretan flavors pair perfectly with sweeping ocean views. Just across the water, the Minoan ruins on the islet rise from the sea, visible from your table.
Conclude the expedition at the ancient city of Azoria, perched high with panoramic views, before visiting the Kavousi ancient olive tree, its gnarled roots entwined in 3,000 years of history. Finally, retreat to Tholos Beach, a hidden crescent of soft sands and calm waters.
This is Crete’s legend—untamed, enduring, and waiting for you to write your chapter.
