Drakona Village in Chania, Crete

📍Drakona is a small village in the Chania region of Crete, about 25 km from the city of Chania.

It remains one of the few places in Greece where rural life continues almost unchanged, shaped by agriculture and local production 🌿

Here, the focus is on learning from the land and the people—whether it's through tasting traditional dishes, joining in beekeeping, or understanding how locals farm their fields.

The village is known for its fertile soil, excellent honey, and strong connection to the Cretan countryside.

Locals maintain a lifestyle deeply tied to the seasons, and they’re always open to sharing their knowledge 🐝

Hiking paths in the area connect Drakona to the White Mountains, offering a chance to explore landscapes rarely touched by mass tourism.
