Monastery of Arkadi

Arkadi Monastery which is one of the most important monasteries in Crete and holds great cultural and historical value. It is renowned for its stunning architecture, with a mix of Venetian, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences, making it a unique and captivating structure.(to enter the Monastery is optional and the entrance fee is 4 euro)

40 minutes
Pikris

After we pick you up from your hotel, our first stop will be at the Venetian village of Pikris , where you will see the Cretan way of life and our hospitality. The village was built next to the river with its mythical nymphs. You will have the chance to see the amazing central gate of the villa Claudio. What makes it even more intriguing is the Latin inscription in letters: "Pateat bonis," which translates to "the good man passes through." This phrase hints at a place that values virtues and welcomes those of moral character.

30 minutes
Crete

We continue through the changing scenery of wild flowers, herbs and local groves to reach the mountains at an altitude of around 1000m.Here you will have an amazing view point of the dam of potamon. We stop to relax with a glass of wine whilst admiring the vivid colors of the sun sinking into the ocean!

Thank you Stelios for Amazing tour

Published on Jul, 2024

We enjoyed our tour very much. Stelios our guide for really nice, explained during the tour about everything. Our two girls enjoyed so much. Amazing views, amazing sunset Dinner was really tasty and special. Highly recommended

Incredible experience

This is an amazing tour. First stop was at Pikris, a very old and traditional village in the mountains. It was like stepping back in time. Met some lovely people and sampled the local olive oil and raki with honey. Then off to the Arkadi monastery, beautiful buildings and views and a very interesting but sad history. Then the highlight of the trip, a very bumpy, hair raising but totally exhilarating ride up the mountains to a viewing point over a stunning lake and then upwards again to watch the sun go down. The views from the top were spectacular and the quietness was lovely. Last stop was a traditional Cretan dinner in a beautiful taverna near a 1000 year old church. Our driver Themis(hope I spelled that right!) was brilliant! Really informative and fun. Would definitely recommend this trip.
