Monastery of Arkadi

After you will be picked up in the morning from your hotel in Rethymnon, this unique village tour begins from Arkadi. There you will visit the historic Arkadi Monastery, renowned for its pivotal role in the resistance against the Turks. You will learn a lot about local history from the icons and the weapons there.

1 hour
Archaeological Museum of Mesara

After this enriching visit, you will visit the new Archeological Museum of Mesara. The new Museum aims to highlight the unique character of this important region over time, from Prehistory to the Middle Ages, to highlight the impact of the particular geomorphology of the area on the emergence and development of civilization with the assistance of advanced technology, to talk about the past of this region to children and young people and to serve as an interconnection point for the numerous archaeological sites and monuments of the area. Within an area of 30 acres and with a total area of 2,900 sq.m.,the Museum includes approximately 900 sq.m. of principal exhibition halls, an inner courtyard that will be used for exhibition and educational purposes, an auditorium and display room, a temporary exhibition hall, conservation workshops, a shop and a café.

1 hour 30 minutes
Matala Beach

Finally, we reach the famous beach of Matala, one of the most popular tourist destinations of Crete. For most people, Matala means only one thing: hippies. Back in the late 1960s - 1970s, this little town was a colony of the “flower children”, who lived in the caves that used to be former Roman tombs. Here we will enjoy the crystal waters, the warm sun and lunch by the sea, while you can explore the prehistoric caves, carved on the steep rocks of the area.
