Cretan Traditional Village Assites, with food and drinks｜Greece

Begin your journey in the charming village of Anopolis, where a visit to a family-run pottery workshop awaits. Witness the artistry of traditional pottery-making as it has evolved over time, and even try your hand at shaping clay on the potter’s wheel. A short drive west of Heraklion brings you to the picturesque village of Saint Myronas, home to a fascinating small cave believed to hold "miraculous" water.

Next, venture to the village of Assites, where you’ll immerse yourself in authentic Cretan life. Wander through its quaint, winding streets and admire beautifully preserved old houses. Discover the village’s hidden gem: a traditional bell maker who continues this rare craft to this day. This is your chance to delve into the history and traditions of rural life while meeting the warm and welcoming locals.

After savoring a delightful "gourmet journey" through Cretan cuisine, your tour continues in the early afternoon. Enjoy a scenic drive through lush olive groves and sprawling vineyards before returning to your hotel, enriched by a day filled with culture, history, and culinary delights.
