Overview

First we stop in the village of Vatoussa, a mountain village with a picturesque square for a coffee or traditional Greek pastries (not included in ticket price). Then we will head towards the village of Sigri and on the way we visit the beautiful monastery Moni Ipsilou. It is an active men's monastery, dedicated to St John Theologos, on the top of Mt Ordymnos, at a height of 634 metres. Expect some amazing views. In Sigri you can visit the Geological Museum of the Petrified Forest . The interior spaces within the museum, diffused with natural light from the glass roofs and windows, are organised around a central courtyard in which impressive fossilised trunks side by side with their present day counterparts wonderfully depict the flora of the Aegean 20 million years ago. The exterior spaces are impressive as well. . We will have free time to swim and sunbathe on the sandy beach of the village or enjoy a nice meal at the local taverns .
