Full description
Embark on a full-day journey through the cultural and historical treasures of Crete by meeting your guide at the Cretan Spiti Travel terminal in Eleftherias Square, located in front of Astoria Capsis Hotel at 08:30. Begin your exploration with a drive to Margarites, a charming traditional village in the prefecture of Rethymno, renowned for its unique pottery tradition, picturesque alleys, and well-preserved architecture.
Continue the tour with a visit to the Arkadi Monastery, an architectural and spiritual landmark with a profound historical significance. The monastery's magnificent facade and the heroic events during the holocaust of 1866 make it an enduring symbol of freedom and heroism, celebrated globally.
The journey then takes you to Rethymno, one of Greece's best-preserved medieval towns, boasting intact historical buildings and captivating charm. Explore the picturesque old town and enjoy an optional lunch. Visit the Venetian stronghold of Fortezza, perched on a low hill above Rethymno Town, with a turbulent history dating back to its construction between 1540 and 1570. Although the fortress was conquered by the Turks in 1646, the outer fortifications still stand, providing a panoramic view of Rethymno town.
Following the visit to Fortezza, drive along the north side of the island, tracing the coastline and passing through the charming villages of Bali, Fodele, and Agia Pelagia. Finally, return to the city of Heraklion, concluding the tour at the terminal in front of Astoria Capsis Hotel at 18:00. This comprehensive journey encapsulates the beauty, history, and architectural wonders of Crete's notable landmarks.
