What makes this tour truly stand apart is its balance — a seamless blend of Crete’s **mythic past**, **authentic countryside**, and **living traditions** that most visitors never get to see. It’s not a rushed sightseeing loop; it’s a private, slow-paced journey through layers of Cretan life, guided by locals who understand the island’s rhythm and character. You’ll walk through the **legendary ruins of Knossos**, tasting the air of Europe’s first civilization, then shift gears completely to a **family-run olive mill**, where real people share their craft, not a staged show. And when the road climbs to the **Lasithi Plateau**, you’ll see Crete at its most genuine — windmills, shepherds, and tavernas untouched by time. It’s a day that connects myth with meal, stone with soil, and history with hospitality — the kind of Crete you remember long after your flight home.

Creating each pot is a unique moment. The ability that clay gives you from a piece of amorphous matter to create objects that will make everyday life more beautiful give it invaluable value. The hours I go to the atelier are for me a source of energy and relaxation, and that’s what I’m looking for those who visit my atelier. The workshop is located 16 kilometres from Heraklion ( acces only with car ), in a unique location in the nature, with a spectacular view of Cretan mountains. The area around offers many opportunities for walking and visiting the nearby villages.
