We will admire the incredible flower-decorated neighborhoods, learn about Cretan history, Cretan mythology, and traditions, meet the locals, and eat like locals.

Piges Argiroupolis

Lunch at the waterfalls! Argyroupoli, previously Ancient Leppa Is a well-preserved village with natural springs and many Venetian mansions that are still residential. However, the place that accepts the most visitors is the famous Springs of Argyroupoli, which are formed in a green setting a few meters below the village. The water comes out of the cave of Agia Dynami and after passing the old watermills that once ground the grain, they end up in the riverbed of the river Mouselas. The watermills today have been turned into taverns that offer traditional food.
