Step into the myth and magic of Crete with the Psiloritis Ultimate Cretan Experience & Cheese Making — a journey through history, nature, and tradition.

According to Greek mythology, Psiloritis is where the god Zeus was raised by the Kourites and the nymph Amalthea. Today, this UNESCO-recognized Geopark reveals its wonders through breathtaking landscapes, ancient caves, rare fossils, and unique flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth.

Your day begins in Heraklion, where you’ll meet your friendly guide and set off towards the Livadi Plateau. Winding mountain roads lead you up the eastern slopes of Psiloritis, offering spectacular views over Heraklion and the shimmering Cretan Sea. Passing through the picturesque village of Krousonas, you’ll find yourself surrounded by thousands of pear and apple trees — a vision of blossoms in spring.

Reaching the Nida Plateau, you’ll step into the legendary Idaion Andron Cave, believed to be the childhood home of Zeus himself. The adventure continues to the mountain village of Anogia for a traditional coffee stop, before exploring Sfedoni Cave, one of Crete’s most beautiful underground wonders.

In Axos, visit a traditional weaving workshop, then ascend to Psiloritis Chalet Retreat at 1,200 meters, where the aromas of fresh herbs and sizzling cheese fill the mountain air. Under the guidance of local experts, you’ll prepare authentic Cretan cheese and traditional specialties, learning recipes passed down for generations.

Your return journey to Heraklion winds through scenic provincial roads, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Crete’s myths, landscapes, and hospitality.
