Start your journey with a short, scenic drive to Kourtaliotiko Gorge, one of Crete’s most stunning natural wonders. Take a light walk/easy hike down to the gorge, where waterfalls crash into emerald pools, a rare and magical sight. If you're feeling adventurous, take a refreshing swim in the cool mountain waters (It depends on the weather conditions and the permit issued by the municipal authority).

Your local guide will be with you throughout the tour, sharing insights and making sure you get the most out of every stop.

Then, head further south to Ammoudi Beach, a quiet, untouched spot along the Libyan Sea. Choose to relax on the beach, or explore further with an easy coastal walk to Mikro Ammoudi, Klisidi, or even Damnoni Beach. Along the way, discover secluded coves and breathtaking views, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply enjoying the moment.

**The route to the waterfalls requires an off-trail hike of approximately 25 minutes. There are also quite a few steps to descend and then climb back up, which requires a good level of physical fitness. It is not recommended for people with health problems.
