Beskrivelse
This village tour begins with a visit to the historic Arkadi Monastery, known for its key role in the resistance against the Turks. After this, you’ll enjoy a scenic drive to Eleutherna, where you can pause to admire the surrounding landscapes.
The next stop is the village of Margarites, where you’ll learn about the traditional art of pottery. For those interested, there’s an opportunity to create your own ceramic piece in a local workshop. While not all guests may have time to participate due to time constraints, the village's rich pottery tradition offers a fascinating experience, and local artisans are eager to share their craft.
The tour continues to the Melidoni Cave, also known as “Gerodospilios”. This historic cave, full of stalactites and stalagmites, was once a worship site for Talos, the bronze giant who protected Crete. You’ll have an hour to explore the cave.
Before heading back to Rethymnon, you’ll visit Axos Village. Here, you can optionally enjoy a traditional lunch and experience the production of fresh local cheese. Participate in the milking process, watch cheese pies being made, and taste traditional handmade snacks. After a relaxing break, this memorable experience concludes with a return to your hotel in Rethymnon.
