Excursions – Road trips

Crete is known both for its historical and natural sites, so the area of Messara offers great options for visitors. Phaestos (Festos or Phaistos) – the Minoan Palace of South Crete which is situated in a wonderful location with a very special energy, the scenic village of Matala with the historical caves that used to be inhabited by the hippies in the 1970’s, and the archaeological sites of Gortys, Kommos and Agia Triada are just a few of them.
