| Depart
the port of Heraklion and enjoy a leisurely drive south, through olive
groves, vineyards and numerous picturesque villages in order to reach
the historical village of Asites, situated in an area surrounded by
mountains and gorges.
Your morning will
consist of a visit to a honey factory, the village’s Orthodox
Church, a local distillery where they produce the traditional
“Tsikoudia” and a workshop where hand-made copper bells are made
for the sheep. Free time
will be allow you to walk around the small alleys on your own, where
one can admire the traditional architecture and experience the
hospitality of the villagers.
Before your morning ends, you will be invited into one of the
local houses, where the owners will offer you home made sweets
accompanied by Tsikoudia.
After this
memorable visit, your motorcoach will drive you back to the port.
