Join MIIRA for our original trip, Sources.
A week in Crete, grounded in our Greek roots and life on the ground. This is home for us: we know where to go, what’s worth it, and how to move through it in a way that feels easy and real.
You’ll stay in quietly luxurious rooms in the heart of Chania with relaxed mornings and full, effortless days. Together with an intimate group of like-minded women, we’ll share the kinds of places, experiences, and moments we choose for ourselves. Beautiful meals, places that don’t advertise themselves, and time with locals, producers and creatives.
Unhurried days with just the right amount of spontaneity along the way, and the freedom to make the week your own.
This is where MIIRA begins.
We can’t wait to meet you.

Arrive throughout the day with a private transfer to your accommodation.
In the evening we meet by the port for a first drink together, overlooking the water.
From there, we'll enjoy a traditional Cretan meal in the heart of Chania with shared plates, local wine, and all the excitement of the week ahead of us.
Enjoy a slow breakfast at your own pace.
We meet mid-morning and drive south to Sfakia for a private ceramics workshop. You’ll be guided through shaping and finishing your own pieces by a local artist, in a studio set against the backdrop of the beautiful Askifou mountains.
From there we'll take in our surroundings, before heading into the village for a private table set for our group. Simple home-cooked food, seasonal dishes, and an unhurried evening spent together in beautiful open surroundings.
We meet late-morning for a full day on the sea.
A luxury catamaran takes us across the Cretan coast, stopping at clear water points for swimming, exploring and a feast on board.
We return late afternoon as the sun sets over the horizon, with the night yours to fill as you wish.
Our day focuses on food from the source, celebrating the rich heritage of Greek gastronomy.
Take in the day at an expansive working olive oil estate, walking through the process from grove to press. Step through abundant olive and citrus trees native to Crete and pick the wild greens served simply and beautifully on local plates.
In a slow afternoon spent under the groves you'll enjoy a guided olive oil tasting, followed by cocktail mixing incorporating the foraged herbs and fruits handpicked by you.
As the day closes, we dine over a ingredient-led menu and setting that opens out toward the coast.
Our morning begins with a hike through an ancient abandoned monastery and rocky gorge to a hidden bay.
Later, the reward of Seitan Limania, a sandy cove beach enclosed by steep cliffs in Chania's northern peninsula. You'll swim and soak up the sun surrounded by rock formations and wild goats.
In the evening, we come together for a hands-on cooking class. Prepare a full Cretan meal with local produce, enjoyed on a private terrace with traditional music.
Start the morning strolling through the Laiki (local market) with its fresh produce and local vendors.
Mid-morning, we'll wander through open ruins set above the water. Stone, space, and expansive views.
We lunch in a vineyard garden surrounded by trees and long tables, as the afternoon settles into evening.
Take your morning, your way. Relax, shop, wander, explore.
As the afternoon begins, we take a scenic drive to Falassarna Beach, renowned for its wide, pink-tinged sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
An afternoon spent on the sand before a sunset dinner soaking in the famous Falassarna sunset for our last night together.
We spend our last morning together with a mid-morning swim and picnic at the nearby rockpools of Kouloura, as we say our goodbyes throughout the day.
