Begin your day with a photo stop at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Crete. See the famous Preveli palm forest against the backdrop of mountains and the turquoise sea.

Next, for those interested, there will be an optional visit to the Holy Stavropegic Patriarchal Monastery of Preveli. Admire the miraculous holy cross in the monastery, a gift from the rector, Preveli Ephraim, which contains in its base a large part of the Cross of the Lord and, according to legend, was brought from Constantinople.

Continue to the Libyan Sea and stop at Damnoni Beach for a swim. Enjoy a traditional Cretan lunch in one of the best taverns in Crete, with a panoramic view of the Libyan Sea. Learn about the peculiarities of Cretan cuisine and the most delicious dishes on the island.

Then, head to the north through the Kotzifou Gorge. Once again at the Cretan Sea, in the north of the island, make a stop in the city of Rethymno. Stroll along its narrow streets and enjoy the beautiful and romantic ending to a wonderful day.

Entrance fees for certain optional sites are not included. Visits can be skipped or adjusted based on your wishes.
