  • Anogia, Rethymnon

Perched on the slopes of Psiloritis, at an altitude of 750 metres, Anogia dominates as one of the most famous mountain villages of Crete. 

Heading towards the square, you won’t miss the shops with their colourful woven fabrics, woolen kilims and patanies, a testimony to the living art of the textile industry that flourished in Anogia.

For astronomy lovers, the Skoinaka Observatory with its stunning view, while for hikers, the plateau of Nida with its mitatas, the round stone buildings used by shepherds, open up paths full of beauty and tranquillity.

Whether you are looking for the traces of Cretan tradition or you want to explore the secrets of nature, Anogia invites you to a journey full of authentic experiences that will be engraved in your memory.

  • Vamos, Chania

In the heart of a fertile olive grove, embraced by picturesque slopes, the village of Vamos in Chania unfolds as one of the most charming gems of Crete. 

As the old capital of Sfakia, Vamos retains its traditional character unchanged. Beautiful mansions and stone houses, adorned with flowering courtyards, bougainvillea and vines, adorn the cobbled alleys, creating a magical setting.

In the old neighborhood, time seems to have stopped. Here, the visitor feels the glamor of the village in earlier times, lost in the winding alleys and picturesque streets.

Next to the monastery, an old oil mill from 1860 with 12 impressive arches bears witness to the rich history of the place. Also worth a stop at the church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, just before the monastery, with frescoes dating from the 11th to the 14th century.

Vamos is an ideal destination for those seeking the authentic Crete. Here, tradition meets the beauty of nature, creating a magical and soothing setting.

  • Kritsa, Lassithi

Perched on the slopes of Mount Castellos, at an altitude of 360 meters, the village of Kritsa unfolds amphitheatrically, overlooking the picturesque bay of Mirabello. 

Little shops with weaving and embroidery, picturesque cafes with cobbled streets and traditional tavernas make up a setting that evokes the authentic Crete, far from the crowds.

Kritsa is famous for the excellent quality oil produced from its century-old olive trees. In fact, since 1927, an agricultural cooperative has been operating in the settlement, keeping the tradition of olive cultivation alive.

Kritsa is an ideal destination for those seeking the authentic beauty of Crete, combining picturesque scenery, rich history and warm hospitality.
