Experiences
Description: We start this excursion at the most impressive and historic monastery of Arkadi which is historical symbol, linked to the national pride of the Cretan people as it played a significant role in the Cretan revolt against Ottoman rule in 1866. We then head to Eleftherna, a village of natural beauty. Here we find the ruins of the ancient city of Eleftherna, one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete. We visit the museum and its exhibits that come mostly from the “Nekropolis”. Let us discover ancient customs and habits related to death and the underworlds, as well as the reality of the descriptions of the poems of Homer. Our next destination is the village of Margarites, famous for its pottery art and production. Strolling through the narrow streets of Margarites, we will see doorframes of stonemade houses with beautiful decoration from the times of Venetian rule. The village gives a real sense of how Cretan villages used to be in past centuries. There is an optional visit to the pottery workshop. Enjoy a delicious local traditional meal at the central square of the village with the beautiful view to the olive groves.

Description: Exploring the inland area of Rethymnon and heading to the south coast, we reach the Kourtaliotis gorge, one of the most spectacular natural attractions of Crete. Along its length we see huge cliffs of limestone, reaching 500 meters in height, full of caves, where many species of birds nest, making the Kourtaliotis gorge an important biotope. Afterwards, we reach the historical orthodox monastery of Prevelis that has played a vital role in the revolt of the Cretan people against their occupants. It is located in a glorious position with an amazing view of the Libyan sea. Next we visit the popular tourist destination of Plakias with plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars along the south coast. It is here that you can enjoy swimming in the clear waters. On our way back the village of Myrthios is the next destination where you can enjoy a breath-taking view of The Lybian Sea. Then, driving through the Kotsyfou Gorge, a place of spectacular wild beauty, we pass several small traditional villages until we return to Rethymnon.
