  • The Lion Fountains (Pass By)

    This iconic fountain in Spili is a series of stone-carved lion heads, each flowing with fresh mountain water. Driving by, you'll hear about its symbolic role in the village and its importance to local life. It’s a must-see highlight of Spili.

  • Agia Galini (Pass By)

    This picturesque fishing port marks the tour’s final destination. As you drive past, you’ll notice tavernas nestled into the hillside and the statues of Icarus and Daedalus in the town’s amphitheater. Agia Galini offers a stunning mix of history, myth, and Cretan hospitality.

  • Agia Galini Beach (Pass By)

    With its golden sands and serene atmosphere, Agia Galini Beach is a coastal gem. As you pass by, take in the azure waters and imagine soaking up the sun or enjoying a meal at a nearby taverna. It’s a perfect stop for relaxation, though not part of the driving route.
