Excursion Itinerary: Akrotiri From Chania: Beaches, History & Gastronomy
Early in the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel or closest pick-up point to drive to the Akrotiri peninsula, where you will visit the beautiful monastery of "Hagia Triada", or "Holy Trinity" in English, a perfect example of the Cretan Renaissance. The road which leads to the imposing entrance of the monastery is lined with cypresses.
This monastery was built in the 17th century and stands out because of its Byzantine style, its gardens, woodcarvings, icons and other religious relics. It is still operational today and the monks produce olive oil and wine using biological procedures, with care and dedication. You will have the opportunity to taste these products in the old cellars of the monastery.
You continue the journey through fields of local crops, to the beach of Stavros, where the famous movie "Zorba the Greek" was filmed. A beach of extremely fine sand, sheltered by the wind and with sun loungers and umbrellas. Here you will have free time to swim and sunbathe as well as taste the delights that this fishing village offers its visitors.
Towards the end of the day, on our way back to Chania, your guide will choose an interesting seaside route that will make your return trip even more memorable.
Greca Tip: In the Agia Triada monastery shop you can choose from a wide selection of organic tsikoudia (raki), olive oil, honey, vinegar and olive oil soap.
