Itinerary

  • Spilies Beach (Pass By)

    Your tour begins in Spili, a charming village known for its famous Lion Fountain. As you pass by, you'll admire the beautiful stone-carved lion heads that spout cool spring water from the surrounding mountains. It’s a perfect introduction to Crete’s unique blend of history and tradition.

  • The Lion Fountains (Pass By)

    This iconic fountain in Spili is a series of stone-carved lion heads, each flowing with fresh mountain water. Driving by, you'll hear about its symbolic role in the village and its importance to local life. It’s a must-see highlight of Spili.

  • Agia Galini (Pass By)

    This picturesque fishing port marks the tour’s final destination. As you drive past, you’ll notice tavernas nestled into the hillside and the statues of Icarus and Daedalus in the town’s amphitheater. Agia Galini offers a stunning mix of history, myth, and Cretan hospitality.

  • Agia Galini Beach (Pass By)

    With its golden sands and serene atmosphere, Agia Galini Beach is a coastal gem. As you pass by, take in the azure waters and imagine soaking up the sun or enjoying a meal at a nearby taverna. It’s a perfect stop for relaxation, though not part of the driving route.

  • Triopetra Beach (Pass By)

    Triopetra is a tranquil beach known for its stunning rock formations rising from the sea. You’ll pass this serene spot and hear about its white stone and crystal-clear waters. It’s an idyllic place to return to if you want to experience Crete’s more secluded beaches.

  • Agios Pavlos (Pass By)

    Agios Pavlos offers a beautiful coastal view with rugged cliffs and clear waters. Driving past, you'll glimpse this quiet, off-the-beaten-path beach where you can dip your toes in the pebbly shores and enjoy a break from busier tourist spots.
