We start this tour by doing various sightseeing stops, to see the valleys and villages of Mainland Rethymno, a prefecture east of Chania Region.
After a lovely drive through one of Rethymno’s most beautiful gorges, we finally reach the Monastery of Arkadi with huge historical & Archaeological significance. Free time is given to explore the artefacts of the monastery, pray and meditate, as well as gather in the gunpowder room and learn about the history of self- committed suicide of monks, women and warriors during the Ottoman Rule of the island.
Margarites Village is famous worldwide for the many art workshops and handmade crafts artists that reside in the village, owning their own shops and producing souvenirs of the highest quality.
We continue to visit a unique underground cave with huge historical significance. We stand in awe admiring the numerous stalactites and stalagmites and learning about the history of the Cave, on the Foothills of Mount Ida (Psiloritis Mountain).
Our professional historian tour guide will wait for you at the hotel lobby area 5 minutes before the private full-day tour starts. ...Read more ▼
Itinerary
Monastery of Arkadi
We make a visit and pay our respects to one of the most historic monasteries in Crete, Arkadi Monastery. Our professional historian tour guide explains the significance of this monastery for agriculture, for the customs of Crete, as well as for the Cretan divine tradition. We pay special attention to the heroic act of the monks during the revolt against the Ottoman Empire in 1866, as we stand in awe in the gunpowder room right next to the monastery premises.
