Agios Nikolaos Tour Pefki Village

Agios Nikolaos Private Tour Real, Rustic, Untamed Crete Adventures of Pefki Village

Agios Nikolaos Tour

  • Stunning viewpoint capturing two opposite seas – the vast blueness of Cretan and Libyan sea, revealing the true enigma of an island
  • Enjoy a swim in Libyan sea, South coast of Crete and relax in one of the sandy beach along the way
  • Explore 25m deep mystic cave in Cretan wild mountains (good walking shoes and relatively good physical condition is a must)
  • Experience one of the most delicious lunch in a family-owned, small Cretan tavern
  • Conquer to the top of the mountain - numerous stairs leading up remind of the film scene from “Mamma Mia”
  • Find a whitewashed Cretan chapel and enjoy another panoramic view of the South coast of Crete

Do you enjoy non-touristy sites, scenic mountain road, unparalleled panoramic view of the island? What about exploring a cave less visited in a Cretan wilderness? Add the narrow path with 110 stairs leading to the top of the mountain - just like a film scene from "Mamma Mia"? If you find this plan entertaining, come along - let’s cross the island - from North to South. Off we are to Pefki village!

Never heard of Pefki? Off-the-beaten path, adventurous, delicious are the keywords describing the village and its secrets, within the vicinity – surprising all in all. The lunch in a small, traditional, family-owner taverns with home-grown and freshly prepared delicacies and truly authentic Cretan dishes is a 'must' and not an exception during our tours.

There is a swim opportunity during the tour, so don’t forget to bring your swimming suit, beach towel. Light cardigan, sunscreen and hat will help to enjoy the sun.

The length of the tour is about 9 hours, including 3 hours driving time (roundtrip) from Agios Nikolaos/ Elounda area.

Note: this is a private tour and can be modified according to your interests and preferences

"Secrets of Crete" provides a fascinating Private Tour My husband and I had the good fortune to have spent the day with Joseph Batis, who has tours exploring some of the lesser known parts of Crete, Greece. In our correspondence with him prior to the day we had available, he customized the itinerary to fit our specific requests.

Visitors from Maryland

"Great way to discover Crete off the beaten track" Joseph from Secrets of Crete organised a brilliant tour in the mountains of central Crete today, going off the beaten track to very atmospheric small roads and old villages where we saw no other tourists, only locals.
