Nature treasures of Crete

Nature treasures of Crete
  • Tour snapshot

What a wonderful gift to
yourself and to nature. This very special In Focus tour shines a light on the
problems facing the Cretan countryside after a series of devastating fires
rocked the island. We will visit one of the affected areas where you will plant
a tree to support the reforestation process. While we are at it we will also
explore the historic hills with their ancient ruins and lush olive groves and
enjoy a picnic in the ancient forest.

  • Highlights

Support a recently
fire-ravaged local habitat by planting a tree for yourself or for a loved one

Discover one of
the best spots for magical views across Mirabello Bay

Admire the beauty
of unspoilt Cretan landscapes off the traditional tourist trail

Enjoy a glorious
picnic of Cretan meze in the ancient forest of Krousta
