Few words about this experience

A truly immersive experience combining hiking in the natural landscapes of Lasithi with traditional craftsmanship and local culture. The route follows the lush Richtis Gorge, one of the greenest gorges in eastern Crete, featuring flowing water, rich vegetation and the famous Richtis waterfall.


After the hike, we visit the village of Myrsini, where we meet local potter Nikos at his workshop. There, guests actively participate in creating and firing their own ceramic piece using the traditional and visually striking Raku technique.


The experience concludes at a local taverna, where guests enjoy a sunset lunch and/or a complimentary treat by NatureSoul Adventures, offering a perfect balance of nature, creativity and authentic Cretan hospitality, near Agios Nikolaos, Crete.
