South Crete – Matala Beach & Caves – Winery
South Crete – Matala Beach & Caves – Winery
Small group tour
All the main Cretan cities are located on the north side so if you want to get away from the big cities and away from the tourist destinations then exploring South Crete should be your first choice. It combines everything: old traditional villages, the wineyards, wineries and the valleys with olive groves everywhere. Matala Caves, another stop in our tour, were used as Roman tombs 2000 years ago and a home for the hippies in the 70s. Isn’t it amazing how they changed? I personally love history and I enjoy sharing it with you! Visiting a biological winery for local wine tasting it’s a must if you are a wine lover. In this family-run biological winery, which is located at 340 meters above the sea level, you will have the chance of tasting 5 different kinds of local wine. Biological wine is of course made without any chemicals and added sulfates, but let’s learn more about this and local traditions during the tour I am open to customize the tour on your wishes and needs by adding or skipping different place.
