About this excursion
A 4x4 day trip to Trypiti Beach, a hidden beach on the south coast of Crete. On the way south we stop at Zaros Lake, then drive through valleys and over mountain roads in an area with a long ancient history.
There are a few panoramic photo stops along the route before the off-road section through Trypiti Gorge, with views of the wild southern coastline. The track ends at Trypiti Beach, where rugged cliffs surround very clear water.
At the beach you have free time to swim, relax and take photos. Lunch with local wine and water is included.
