Short Day Tour

Driving towards the Akrotiri peninsula, we will visit the monastery of Agia Triada Tzagarolon. Built in the 17th century, with a majestic cruciform church, it is set on a wonderfully overgrown landscape of olive groves and cypress trees.

Continuing our Drive towards the picturesque province of Apokoronas, we will stop at the archaeological site of Aptera, in an impressive position on a plateau with a

Panoramic view of the Souda Gulf.

We will explore the extensive ruins of the ancient City, before continuing on to the tiny village of Maheri, a typical, unspoilt Cretan Villages where we will stop for refreshments.

The tour will then take us further inland, a scenic drive along the foot of the White Mountains, taking us to the tiny Drakona village for a delicious Cretan meal at a family-run taverna – where all produce is fresh and locally sourced.

Our last stop stop will be the historic village of Therisso and driving through a beautiful gorge we will return in Chania in late afternoon...
