What to expect

Over the centuries, Cretans have imbued this ancient land with the vivid presence of Christianity by founding monasteries, churches, and chapels of great religious importance.

Journey to Central Crete from North to South and explore a paradise where fertile soils treasure lavish vineyards and the oldest olive groves seem to stretch toward the horizon.

Follow an expert local guide as you visit religious monuments. Some of them were fortified and others are situated on the sites of archaic temples illuminating the long devotion to Christianity in Crete.

Meander through the Minoan wonders of Messara plain to embrace the views of Phaistos Palace.

In the afternoon, visit the village of Matala. Bask in the waters of the Libyan Sea and unwind at the fish tavernas on the waterfront.
