This experience combines two completely different sides of Crete in one relaxed half-day journey: the island’s growing craft beer culture and one of its most peaceful hidden spiritual sites. Rather than focusing only on a brewery visit, the tour pairs an award-winning craft beer tasting experience with the hidden Cave of St. John the Hermit, creating a refreshing balance between flavor, local stories, and nature. The first stop introduces guests to Crete’s modern brewing scene through fresh unfiltered beers, local ingredients, and small Cretan snacks in a scenic countryside setting. The journey then shifts into a completely different atmosphere, where a short walk leads into the sacred cave and its peaceful monastic surroundings. This contrast between contemporary local craftsmanship and centuries-old spiritual heritage makes the experience feel fresh, authentic, and unlike standard tasting tours.

Inside the cave there is temple of the 15th century and the foundations of old cells that date back in the 17th-18th century. Sirili it is a particularly fertile village, which produces citrus fruits , has huge vineyards of excellent variety and produces large quantities of olive oil .
