A private day tour in Crete to Margarites village, Arkadi Monastery, and Rethymno has something to offer to everyone, whether you are interested in history, culture, nature, or just relaxing on the beach, is a great way to explore the historical and cultural sites of Crete. Rethymno is a charming coastal town located on the northern coast of the island of Crete in Greece.

It is known for its well-preserved Venetian-era old town, which is a maze of narrow streets and alleys, lined with colourful buildings, shops, and cafes. The old town is also home to several historic landmarks and attractions, including the Fortezza, a 16th-century fortress, and the Rimondi Fountain, a beautiful Venetian fountain. Enjoy your lunch in Rethymno before the driver transfers you back to the ship.

Do not miss to try some traditional Cretan dishes, such as dakos (a salad with barley rusk, tomato, and feta), dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), and moussaka (a baked dish with eggplant, meat, and béchamel sauce).

As you stroll along the alleyways, you will have the opportunity to see in passing important buildings such as the Porta Guora, the Loggia, the Rimondi fountain, the church of St Francis, the Nerantze mosque and the imposing harbour with its lighthouse, all this accompanied by local treats.

This culinary walking tour is an extraordinary and unforgettable experience.

A Journey Through Crete’s Mystical Past. This excursion is ideal for those who love archaeological and mythological events. Furthermore, you will see the Cretan local culture as we pass and visit the traditional villages of East Crete.

Elounda Village is an ideal destination for people who want a seaside holiday in a place that is neither too busy nor too isolated, having a spectacular coastline, shaded beaches, crystal clear seas, and archaeological interest. From the port of Elounda, we will take the boat to the island of Spinalonga.

The Spinalonga has 1200-1500 visitors daily during the summer months and is one of Crete’s most popular archaeological sites. Spinalonga is also known as Leper Island, where patients from Crete and the rest of Greece were quarantined until 1957.

The next stop is Agios Nikolaos, a beautiful town with a small-town feel that has lots to offer: the lake, port, and Marina. Its unique features start with the lake, a folklore-inspiringly deep body of water that is connected to the sea by a narrow inlet. The lake joins the sea with a strip of water under the tiny road bridge.

Indulge yourself with this food tour, starting with a Greek coffee or mountain tea and an old-fashioned sweet breakfast next to the city’s pensioners reading their morning newspapers. Then, walking for an hour along the serpentine alleys of the Venetian harbour with its architecture remains that offer photo options to take your breath away. 

After that, re-entering the present to taste a variety of authentic local dairy, honey, olive oil and olives and continue by strolling for about an hour and a half to the ottoman quarter of the town, all the while comparing and contrasting the different cultures and religions which were bonded to create the unique character of the town. 

Our tour ends at a traditional kafeneio well known amongst the locals for a delicious lunch with options both for vegetarians and non-vegetarians as well as local spirits.
