Additional Information

As legend holds, the ancient Ogygia - now known as Gavdos - was the island where the ship of Odysseus foundered. From the moment you plant your feet on its soil, until the final siren of the departing ferry fades, its enigmatic and entrancing ambiance is impossible to resist. If you’ve ever questioned how Odysseus could have remained on the island with Calypso for years, renouncing his former existence and homeland, a trip here will provide all the answers. The unblemished nature is still intact, with the vast expanse of the Libyan sea underscoring our insignificance in this vast universe. Among other things, Gavdos is an ideal spot to unwind and disconnect, to slumber under the night sky and be awakened by dawn’s first light, attuned to the day’s natural rhythm. The principle behind Heliophilia tours is simple: we prepare in advance and provide everything necessary; all you need to bring is your authentic self and a receptive frame of mind – all set to uncover what lies just beneath the surface.

Amazing tour! - This full day tour to Gavdos was the highlight of my trip to Crete! The guide, Jacob, was very knowledgeable and made this experience even better. Gavdos is a gorgeous island with beautiful blue water, hiking and is the southernmost point of Europe. If you’re thinking about booking a trip to Gavdos, then this is the tour to book as you won’t be disappointed! Can’t wait to book again 😎
