Their agenda will include visits to various points of interest (Cave of Agia Fotini located outside Avdou village, the largest plane-tree in Crete at Krasi village, the dam lake of Aposelemis and Sfendyli village) and horseback riding. The bloggers will also attend the 6th Hellenic Zeus ITF Pro Circuit 2015 tennis match and discover the secrets of traditional Cretan cuisine through cooking lessons.

Participants will also experience the Aquarium of Crete (CretaAquarium) and attend local races on Sunday, March 29, (1st Autism Race and 1st Coastal Road Race).
