Top Crete Active & Outdoor Classes

Skip the usual night out for this small-group tango dance lesson in a dance school in southern Chania. Organize an optimal time with your professional tango teacher and start with easy exercises to learn the fundamentals and practice some improvisation. The class is designed for beginners but can be adjusted to suit more experienced tango dancers.

Tango is a global language. The basic idea of tango that conquered the world is that you can dance everywhere in the world with anyone. Chania is the best place to have this artistic adventure. No matter your level, you can start with the “right” foot, or you can go deeper in your skill set. We have a special outdoor dancing floor as seen in photos, under the trees, in the perimeter of ManolisHouse. This serene setting, and the high level in teaching methodology makes the lesson and the connection between the couple an even more enjoyable experience.

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.

What makes this sea kayak trip truly unique is the perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and hidden history along one of Crete’s most stunning coastlines. Unlike typical beach excursions, this experience lets you actively explore the wild, untouched side of southern Rethymno—gliding through turquoise waters, weaving past dramatic cliffs, and discovering secluded spots only accessible by kayak. The stop at Kalypso Bay offers a rare chance to snorkel in a secluded marine haven and leap from rocks into the clear sea, adding a playful thrill. Visiting the old mine tunnels at Plakias adds a historical twist to the journey, giving you a glimpse into the island’s past. With personalized guidance, top-quality gear, and small group sizes, this is more than just a kayak tour—it’s an immersive experience in Crete’s coastal magic.

Enjoy the serenity of the natural surroundings, leaving you with a lasting sense of calm and clarity as you wrap up your restorative journey back to your hotel.
