Your journey begins at the Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) Tsagarolon Monastery. This 17th-century masterpiece is one of Crete's most stunning religious sites, featuring an impressive church and a museum with artifacts dating back to the 12th century. The monastery is also famous for its organic production; you can visit their historic olive mill and winery to discover their world-class olive oil, wine, honey, and traditional soaps. Next, we stop to admire the dramatic scenery of Seitan Limania from above. This hidden cove, framed by steep cliffs and turquoise waters, offers one of the most iconic views in Crete. We then head to Marathi, a serene seaside village with two Blue Flag sandy beaches. It’s the perfect spot for a calm swim or a fresh seafood lunch at a local tavern. For the adventurous, boat rentals are available to explore nearby sea caves.
The tour concludes at the historic Venizelos Graves on the hill of Prophet Elias. This is the final resting place of the charismatic Greek statesman Eleftherios Venizelos and his son Sophocles. Beyond its historical significance, the hill offers the most spectacular panoramic view of Chania and the Aegean Sea. If you wish we can customize the tour on a later time so as making it the ultimate spot to witness a magical Cretan sunset.
