9 daysGreece
Crete: sea and villages
Through tavernas, coves and mountain roads
The big island at a calm pace: nine days between the west coast and the mountain villages, where lunch takes three hours and nobody hurries.
Two bases instead of daily moves, trusted tavernas and beaches for any weather.
Already thought through
The details I have verified for this trip in advance.
- The route avoids mountain switchbacks after sunset
- “5 minutes to the beach” verified: level road, not a cliff path
- Balos by boat — not the gravel road that ruins hire cars
- The village is genuinely quiet: no church bells at night
- A backup beach on the south shore for wavy days
