Embark on an unforgettable journey through Crete’s rich history and stunning landscapes with our guided excursion. The day begins early (around 08:00 am) with a pick-up from your hotel or meeting point, as we head east to the historical region of Rethymno. Your first stop is the Arkadi Monastery, the oldest and one of the most significant monasteries in Crete. This monastery played a pivotal role in the island’s fight for independence against the Turks. Our expert guide will share the fascinating story of its history as you explore its various landmarks. You'll have about one hour to admire the main church, the Catholic Church of the monastery, the historic dining hall, the cellar, the power barrel, the museum, and the art gallery. This peaceful and historically charged site offers a glimpse into Crete's turbulent yet rich past. Next, we head to Margarites, a traditional pottery village where you can immerse yourself in one of Greece’s largest pottery centers. Spend approximately one hour exploring the charming village and discover the intricate art of handmade ceramics. Watch skilled artisans at work and learn about the long-standing pottery traditions passed down through generations. Our journey continues to the town of Rethymno, a gem of Cretan culture. Here, you will have about 3 hours of free time to wander through the picturesque alleys of the old town, discover its Venetian architecture, and enjoy traditional taverns offering delicious Cretan cuisine. Don’t forget to take in the beautiful views of the Adelianos Kampos beach, which is just a stone's throw away. By the end of this immersive cultural journey, we’ll head back to your hotel, arriving around 18:00 hrs.
