Overview

Begin your winter day trip with a visit to the Arkadi Monastery, one of the most important historical sites in Crete. This sacred place is a symbol of freedom and faith, famous for its role in Cretan history. Walk around the peaceful courtyard, admire the beautiful church, and feel the calm and inspiring atmosphere that surrounds the monastery.
After the visit, continue to Rethymno, one of the most picturesque towns in Crete. Enjoy about three hours of free time in the old town, where every street has a story to tell. Wander through the narrow alleys, explore the Venetian harbor, and admire the charming old buildings and small local shops.
