Vakantieverhuur in Kaloudiana

We set off from Kissamos and head towards Falassarna, on the West coast. We'll give you a short history of the area, which was one of the 3 most important city states in Hellenistic times. A short walk away from the site of the ancient city is the sunken wreck of a WW2 transport ship. We'll show you the way to a small cove - about 20 minutes walking on a rocky path - then we’ll snorkel out to the wreck. You’ll be able to swim around and explore it to your hearts content. The wreck lies in surprisingly shallow waters, making this fascinating site accessible without scuba equipment. We'll have a quick snack at the beach after swimming, then walk back to the car and head back to Kissamos. We can do this experience any morning during the summer months (May to October). If no availability is shown on your preferred day please message us to inquire about booking. We also offer other experiences such as nature hikes (gorges & coastal), e-bike rental & tours, kayak day excursions, cultural excursions and other swimming/snorkelling tours.

We meet in Kissamos, where we'll get you acquainted with our electric MTBs. Then we ride through scenic backroads to the village of Polyrrinia, admiring some amazing views as we pass through small hamlets and olive groves. With the electric motor assisting your pedaling even the hilly sections are a breeze! Once we get up to Polyrrinia we can stop at a local cafe for a drink, then you have free time to explore the village. Polyrrinia was a strong town in antiquity, easily understood when we see its position perched on top of a commanding hill. We park the bikes and explore the narrow alleys and the historical ruins of aqueducts and rock cut houses. We can do this experience any morning during the summer months (May to October). Please send a message to inquire about booking. We also offer simple e-bike rentals per day & other guided e-bike tours as well as nature hikes (gorges & coastal), kayak day trips, cultural excursions and swimming/snorkelling tours. You can find more details on our site - Fit in Crete - or contact me. Other things to note Dress in comfortable light clothes. Trousers should be tight at the ankle (leggings) or shorter length (3/4 length or shorts) so that you can cycle without getting them caught in the pedals/cogs. Bring water, suncream etc. A small backpack that you can wear while cycling is also useful.

We meet in Kissamos and provide transport to the start point of a nearby gorge. The path through the gorge is accessible for most walkers. As we walk I'll explain a little about the history of the area and point out interesting things in the gorge & surrounding area. Aromatic herbs like thyme and sage grow all year round, filling the air with their scents. Goats roam free in the gorge and if we are lucky we might catch sight of the majestic griffon vultures who live & nest in the high cliffs. To pass through the whole gorge needs about 2.5 hours, and the same to return, but we can also do a shorter route, walking part of the way into the gorge and turning back. Then, we'll return to the car and head back to Kissamos (about 20 minutes). We also offer other experiences such as other nature hikes (gorges & coastal), e-bike rental & tours, kayak day excursions, cultural excursions and swimming/snorkelling tours.

We meet in Kissamos, where we'll get you acquainted with our electric MTBs. We'll cycle along the scenic coastal roads to the village of Kaliviani, giving you a chance to get used to the bikes. Then we have about an hour's cycle, on an unpaved road, to Balos. With the electric motor assisting your pedaling even the hilly sections are a breeze! You can enjoy the fantastic scenery as we fly along, and spot various local wildlife: goats, lizards, birds of prey and cormorants out on the water sometimes. We'll have a few stops to admire the views, see some secret giant fossils and explain a little about the history of the area. Once we arrive at the end of the road, we'll walk down a path to Balos beach (about 30min walk) for a swim or to enjoy the beach and the views. It is quite a steep walk. Alternatively, if you prefer not to walk down to the beach there is a canteen where we stop. So there is the option to get a drink or snack and explore the paths along the ridge. Then we'll return to Kissamos using the E-bikes. We can do this experience any morning during the summer months (May to October). If no availability is shown please ask me! We also offer other experiences including nature hikes (gorges & coastal), e-bike rental & tours, kayak day trips, cultural trips and swimming/snorkelling tours.
