We continue towards Spili (a famous village for its natural springs), we will visit the folklore museum and we will have free time for coffee. As long as we cross the imposing gorge of Kourtaliotis we will move towards Plakias beach for swimming and food with a view to the South Cretan Sea or Libyan.
