Meet the group in Chania, where we will spend three days on the harbor of what was once a Venetian palace. In Chania, we’ll discover the seaside cuisine, visit the mountains, and talk with winemakers. Then, we’ll travel to Heraklion and see what was essentially the ancient capital of the Mediterranean Sea. We’ll discover the thriving metropolitan city, the historic ruins of Knossos, and we’ll visit the surrounding wine regions. We’ll head east to spend two days in relaxed Sitia, where we’ll visit the famous beach of Crete. Then, we’ll drive through the wild oregano bushes back to the city. The group will depart from Heraklion, after an immersive 7 days in the culture, wine, and food of Crete!
