      1. Jeep Tour in the White Mountains

        Set out alongside an expert driver in a four-wheel-drive Jeep on an off-road route that leads you through the White Mountains, past a traditional shepherd’s hut and to Therissos village, where you’ll enjoy a delectable Greek meal. Orange groves, avocado trees and vegetable gardens line the rocky pathway you’ll take across green valleys and plateaus as you ascend the White Mountains, a high range aptly named for its white limestone peaks. Travel along winding roads and through the ruined city walls of Meskla village high up in the mountains to a Mitato shelter that’s only accessible for four-wheel-drive vehicles. Learn about everyday life as a Cretan shepherd, watching a presentation on how to milk and feed mountain goats and sheep — local cheese is also made onsite. Continue your road trip to a small family-owned tavern in Therissos village at the foot of the White Mountains. Take a seat and savor a taste of authentic Cretan cuisine, including Greek salads, lamb and chicken, locally grown produce and boureki (vegetable pie). Savor a glass of red wine or raki (a brandy-like spirit) before winding your way through the breathtaking Theriso Gorge en route back to your ship.
