Kritsa Village & Myrtos Beach

Join us for a wonderful Kritsa Village and Myrtos Beach Tour, where you can experience the real taste, history, and beauty of Crete. This full-day trip combines local culture, traditional flavors, and relaxing beach time in two of the island’s most charming places.

We begin our day with a visit to a local olive oil park. Here, you’ll see how Cretans make extra virgin olive oil, olive paste, and table olives using traditional methods. You’ll also get to taste high-quality Greek olive oil, raki, honey, and other local products. It’s a fun and tasty way to learn more about Crete’s farming traditions.

Next, we head to Kritsa Village, one of the oldest villages in Crete. This lovely place still keeps its Venetian charm. You’ll have about 1.5 hours of free time to explore. Walk through narrow streets, visit small shops, see historic chapels, and admire handmade weavings made on traditional looms. Kritsa offers a true glimpse into the island’s rich past.

Afterward, we continue our journey to Myrtos Beach, just 13 km west of Ierapetra. This quiet beach is known for its soft gray sand that doesn’t stick and its clear, calm waters. It’s a perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing by the sea. You’ll have around 2.5 hours to enjoy the beach and even try delicious Greek food at one of the seaside taverns.

Finally, after a full day of exploring and relaxing, we return to the bus and head back to your hotel.
