Saint George Monastery

Discover a peaceful 17th-century monastery nestled in the Cretan countryside — a hidden gem rich in history and quiet beauty. Once an important spiritual and agricultural center, it still preserves its original stone architecture and the impressive remains of an old olive press. Surrounded by olive groves and silence, the monastery offers a tranquil atmosphere perfect for reflection. It's a brief but meaningful stop that connects you to Crete’s monastic heritage and timeless rural life.

Get ready for a sensory experience at a family-owned olive oil factory, where Crete’s renowned extra virgin olive oil is crafted with care. Explore the production process from olive grove to bottle, and enjoy a guided tasting of fresh, flavorful oils — each one steeped in local tradition and quality.
Chania Town
  • 1h 30m
Chania is one of Crete’s most enchanting cities — a vibrant tapestry of history, culture, and color. At its heart is the picturesque Venetian Harbor, with pastel buildings, cozy cafés, and a landmark 16th-century lighthouse. As you explore the Old Town, you’ll wander through winding alleys lined with Ottoman facades, Byzantine churches, and bustling local markets. From elegant townhouses and hidden courtyards to traditional leather shops and artisan stalls, every corner reveals a new story. Chania isn’t just a city — it’s a living blend of East and West, where centuries of heritage come to life.
