Villages and Cities
The Crete Senesi are a truly unique landscape. A fascinating territory, which makes you be amazed: the sun beats strong, the wind blows without obstacles, the light almost blinds you, but the eye sweeps everywhere, chasing distant horizons, sinuous lines and soft gullies.
A few kilometres from these lands you can reach famous and fascinating towns and villages.
