Overview

Embark on a journey to the very heart of Crete, where intrepid beekeepers extract nature’s liquid gold, inspired by nectar once deemed worthy of the gods. Discover this ancient craft at the Apithano Honey Museum, connecting with Cretan heritage and savouring diverse local honeys that epitomise luxury and legacy.

Continue your exploration to the rugged terrains where Halepa Monastery stands as a testament to human resilience. Amidst towering peaks and lush valleys, hear whispers of rebellion and endurance that echo through time.

Our odyssey then takes us to the pastoral charm of Crete, where the traditional shepherd’s hut, the 'Mitato,' invites you to witness the ancient art of cheese-making amidst grazing goats and sweeping landscapes.

Conclude your day in Axos Village, where each dish of Cretan cuisine celebrates a rich heritage and exploration, served on a private safari tour in Rethymnon—a culinary homage to the timeless spirit of Crete.

A true journey to the Trails of Tradition.
