Lentas Southern Crete All-Day Private Tour

Tour Description

Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Heraklion and the journey begins by driving on a country road through the Asterousia Mountains. From here you can experience the astonishing natural scenery, breathtaking gorges, bare rocks, and wild plant life. Driving up on the top of the mountain, overlooking the Libyan Sea, you’ll realize why ancient Cretans chose this place for their "Asklipeeon", a temple dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine. It is believed that the place still has healing properties because of the calm positive emotions it creates. Moving on, you’ll come across a characteristic lion like rock, that is a well-known local landmark. Traveling down the spectacular southern shore, you’ll step into a peaceful village by the sea, Lentas, where you can swim in the clear blue waters. Refreshing beverages will be waiting for you together with traditionally inspired Cretan brunch. Get the chance to taste delicious small dishes prepared by a local tavern that you can enjoy on a relaxed day on the beach.
