Best of Touring - Autumn/Winter 23 Middleton

Heraklion

7 day tour Crete Family Holiday

Day 4: Chania Board a private boat and sail along Crete’s south coast to the village of Sougia today. This is Crete at its very best- an undiscovered sweep of beach overlooked by mountains. It’s almost too pretty to believe. Enjoy a swim stop or two along the way and spend the afternoon playing on the beautiful beaches at Sougia. Day 5: Chania Today will be spent discovering the treasures of Chania. Start with a hands-on cooking class where you’ll learn how to make Crete’s most beloved snack – the Kalitsounia. After a delicious lunch sampling the fruits (or pastries) of your labour, enjoy some free time to explore the Old Town and its charming tangle of colourful streets. Day 6: Chania It’s time to get active today and get to know some of Crete’s natural wonders. You and the family will head into the mountains, stopping along the way in beautiful mountain villages with breathtaking views. After working up an appetite, visit an authentic tavern where they’ll prepare you a traditionally cooked lunch using only fire. This afternoon you’ll experience one of Crete’s biggest attractions – the beach! Day 7: Chania – UK After breakfast, it’s time to say your goodbyes and head to the airport for your return flight to the UK.
