ABOUT

Set forth on an enchanting journey with Cretan Adventures, commencing at the ancient city of Eleftherna, established between 970 - 820 BC.

At this destination, visitors have a multitude of wonders to appreciate, including the Byzantine tower gracing the city's entrance, the Roman cisterns, and the Hellenistic bridge.

Navigating through narrow paths and dirt roads, you'll arrive at the charming village of Margarites. Here, you can explore pottery workshops and gain insight into the time-honoured craft of traditional pottery.

Continuing your journey from Margarites, you can proceed to the renowned Arkadi Monastery, a poignant symbol of the Cretan Revolution movement that was tragically destroyed by fire during the Turkish occupation.
