Pretty ports, coastal views and ancient ways of life – northern Crete is a treasure-trove of hidden gems. And, on this tour, you'll see two of the best. You'll visit the tucked-away town of Margarites before heading to Melidoni Cave – an ancient natural wonder. You'll want your camera for this one.
You'll begin the journey in the charming village of Margarites, famous for its traditional pottery making. Crete is home to some of the earliest evidence of the craft, and you'll get to see the ancient art with a demonstration. You'll also have some free time to stroll through the narrow streets and admire the beautifully crafted ceramics on display.
Next up, you'll visit the Melidoni Cave. This limestone cavern has been used as a place of worship, refuge and even a burial site throughout the ages. You'll explore the caverns decked out with stalactites and stalagmites, as your guide shares intriguing stories and legends that surround this mystical place.
