About
We start our tour driving to our first stop Margarites, a small traditional village located in the prefecture of Rethymno and known for its unique pottery tradition, its picturesque alleys, and its well-preserved architecture.Afterwards we reach the Arkadi Monastery, which constitutes a landmark of architecture and civilization considering the magnificent facade of the church, the highly developed spiritual tradition as well as the flourishing development of fine arts. However, the holocaust, which took place in 1866, gave the monastery an eminent place in history, elevating it to an eternal symbol of freedom and heroism, recognized worldwide. We will visit the picturesque old town of Rethymno and have lunch (optional). At the end we will visit the Venetian stronghold of Fortezza which is built on top of a low hill above Rethymno Town. This huge fortress, with its turbulent history, was built between 1540 and 1570 by the Venetian maritime power as a bulwark against Turkish pirates

- lj640 contributionsExcellent day !!Did a full day tour to agios nicholos and most especially Spinalonga Island. Amazing history and cultural sites. Fantastic tour with Viator, guide was Natasha and coach driver Yannis. Both very professional and kept us all safe and on time. Pickup an and drop offs to loads of sites/ hotel all the way from Heraklion. Very customer focussed. Fun ferry trip out to the Island, such beautiful scenery all day, opportunities for people swim at a few places, even off the boat in the spectacular bay. Def recommendWritten 14 October 2024
