Overview

Join us for a stunning tour of the western side of our island, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore two of Greece’s most picturesque and beautiful cities. Rethymno, with its charming old town and the imposing Fortezza Fortress overlooking the sea, invites you to experience a region that has historically been a crossroads of cultures, customs, and traditions. The predominant influences stem from the Ottoman period, Venetian rule, and, of course, the Greek presence of recent centuries.

But the western side of our island has even more to offer. Undoubtedly, the famous Kournas Lake, situated between Rethymno and Chania, is a prime example of the island’s natural beauty. Here, you can traverse the lake by boat and savor local dishes at traditional restaurants that surround the lake.

Finally, we can’t miss a visit to Chania, where the picturesque Venetian harbor will captivate you with its beauty, and the market in the old town is certainly worth your attention.
