Discover the real Crete with the Authentic Crete Summer Tour. This is a comfortable half-day bus
tour that focuses on local life, culture, and traditional tastes.
We start with a visit to a traditional Minoan farm. You will walk around the farm and see how
people live in the Cretan countryside. You will learn about traditional farming and Cretan beekeeping.
You will also taste pure Cretan honey and other local products.
Next, we visit a family-owned winery near the Asterousia Mountains. We explore the historic
FABRIKA wine cellar and learn about wine production in Crete. You will walk through the vineyard and see local grape varieties.
A guided tasting of four different Cretan wines is included.
After that, we continue to the Monastery of Saint George Epanosifis, one of the largest monasteries in Crete. This peaceful place is surrounded by nature. You will have free time to walk around and learn about its history and religious importance.
The tour ends in a traditional mountain village. You will have free time to walk through the village,
take photos, visit small local shops, or relax at a café. Lunch is optional and not included in the price.

If you wish, you can enjoy homemade Cretan dishes made with fresh local ingredients.
This summer tour is an easy and pleasant way to experience Cretan culture, wine, honey, and village life in a short time.
