Next, the group drives to Piges Argiroupolis for thirty minutes to see waterfalls and hear related stories. The tour continues to a traditional village where participants spend about forty-five minutes visiting a Byzantine church and a café offering local Cretan products such as herbs, raki, honey, and oregano.

Afterward, the tour heads to Sfakia for two hours to visit an ancient castle with a local legend, swim in the South Cretan Sea, and have lunch with a drink at a family-run tavern serving traditional dishes. The next stop is a panoramic view of Imbros Gorge for about fifteen minutes. Finally, the group visits a modern olive oil factory for forty-five minutes to learn about olive oil production and taste olive oil, raki, honey, and other Cretan products.
