Arkadi Monastery

The most important and historic Venetian church in Crete history. The heroic revolution of the Cretans until the complete liberation has its own reference point, and it is none other than the Arkadi Monastery.

Museum Of Ancient Eleutherna

The first Archaeological Site Museum in Crete, the Museum of Ancient Eleftherna, covers an area of 1700 sq.m. while the total area of the archaeological site is 13 acres.

The construction of the Museum, which began in 2012, includes three rooms hosting the entire history of the city from 3000 BC. to 1300 AD, with objects of everyday life and works of art from prehistoric, geometric, archaic, classical, Hellenistic, Roman, early Byzantine and Byzantine periods.

Margarites Village

The tradition of pottery goes back many generations in this village and you will be able to find an elder to show you how the pots are hand thrown.

The village, which has some extraordinary architecture and lovely narrow winding streets, is well worth exploring.
Duration 6 hours
