Benefit from pick-up at your hotel and head towards Mires before making your way to the south coast. Stop at the monastery of Panagia Kaliviani to see the old icon depicting the Annunciation that gave the monument its name. Journey through traditional villages to reach the entrance of the spectacular Agia Farangi gorge. Marvel at the natural beauty of the sacred site and look at the forest of oleander bushes and other plants among the rugged rocks. Discover some of the large caves were hermits lived until 1985. Walk to the rock Church of St. Anthony, where the last transept, built in the 15th century, is preserved on an ancient olive tree. Exit the gorge at a stunning beach of fine pebbles and clear-blue waters, and cool down with a swim by the natural arch and under the vertical cliffs. Return to the car and visit the hippy beach at Matala. Soak up the last of the sun and explore the prehistoric caves before a sunset dinner in one of the small taverns by the sea.
