Itinerario
Visitors to Arkadi Monastery will experience a historic and spiritual landmark of Crete, known for its stunning Venetian architecture and its heroic role in the Cretan resistance against Ottoman rule in 1866. The monastery features a beautiful church, a museum with artifacts from its history, and serene courtyards that reflect its rich cultural and religious heritage.
Visitors to Margarites village will discover a charming Cretan village renowned for its traditional pottery craftsmanship. Strolling through its picturesque alleys, they can visit pottery workshops, admire Venetian-influenced architecture, and enjoy the peaceful rural atmosphere surrounded by olive groves and rolling hills.
Visitors to Melidoni Cave will witness a stunning underground world filled with impressive rock formations. Beyond its natural beauty, the cave holds deep historical significance, as it was both an ancient place of worship and a site of sacrifice during the Cretan resistance against the Ottomans in 1824. A memorial inside honors those who perished, making it a place of both awe and remembrance.

Chania's old harbour is a crescent of tall Venetian houses facing a stone breakwater and a lighthouse rebuilt by the Egyptians in the nineteenth century. The domed Mosque of the Janissaries stands on the quay, left from the Ottoman centuries, and behind it narrow lanes in the Splantzia and Topanas quarters pass Venetian and Ottoman houses, churches and small workshops.
