Riding by a beautiful cliff path along the sea, you will reach the abandoned ghost village of Achlada.

After the visit you will continue through the mountains on the old donkey roads until you reach Fodele, a traditional Cretan village, which is also called the "village of the oranges" and is the birthplace of the famous painter "El Greco". Here you can explore Crete’s culture and marvel at its local handicrafts. You may enjoy 20 - 25 minutes of free time before heading back to Agia Pelagia.
