Welcome to Crete! Upon arrival in Chania, you will meet your private driver at the airport. From there you will be taken to the hotel.
Breakfast at your hotel. Meeting with your local guide at the hotel for a walking tour. Begin the guidance of the town. Chania, the capital of the prefecture and its administrative, economic, commercial, and transportation centre. Since ancient times, the city of Chania has faced many conquerors and the influences of many civilizations through time, evident on the city monuments.
The beautiful city of Chania managed to preserve its original colours and historical character, despite the fast-growing tourist industry. It is considered one of the most beautiful cities of Greece and the most picturesque city of Crete. The remainder of the day is at leisure.
Breakfast at your hotel. In the morning, visit the Monastery of Agia Triada (Holy Trinity). It is located in the northwest part of the Akrotiri peninsula, 16km from Chania, and it is placed in green. Although the community decreases, the old buildings are gradually restored and the monastery is still active with an excellent library.
Afterwards drive to the traditional colourful Margarites Village, a wonderful journey into Minoan past, in which the people in this area were engaged in the art of pottery. On the way back, we will visit the town of Rethymnon. Rethymnon is a blend of modern and old-time dignity and charm, during the Byzantine period the town continued to be inhabited, and parts of Roman and Byzantine mosaics have been found.
The Venetian period, also, was a time of great prosperity for Rethymnon, as the Venetians used its harbour as an intermediate stop between Heraklion and Chania, and as an administrative centre for the area. Enjoy free time to explore the winding back streets! Visit the workshop of Mr Chatziparaschos, one of the only pastry makers in Greece specializing in handmade kataifi.
The traditional phyllo pastry looks like shredded wheat, with strands as thin as vermicelli. In its final form, it is baked into traditional syrupy Greek desserts drenched in honey, including a dessert that goes by the same name, as well as baklava and various types of cookies. Sprinkled with the right balance of cinnamon desserts (own expense). A day full of discovery, beautiful scenery, and history. Return to your hotel in Chania for a well-deserved rest.
Breakfast at your hotel. Visit the most famous and popular of all attractions in Crete, the Palace of Knossos. Join your expert guide on a journey back 5000 years into myths and legends and learn secrets of the oldest civilisation in Europe, the Minoans. Hear all about the legendary labyrinth and the Minotaur, the half-human monster. This day brings history and legend to life and is a must-see on any visit to Crete. Heraklion is the largest city and the administrative capital of the island of Crete, Greece. It is one of the largest cities in Greece and the capital of Heraklion regional unit. Return to your hotel in Chania.
After one last breakfast at your hotel, bid farewell to Crete as you hop onto a comfortable transfer to Chania International Airport, where you will catch your flight to your following destination. We hope the memories of this trip will stay with you for a lifetime – have a safe journey!
