Two Days Full of Tradition in the Mountain Village of Axos

For those seeking a weekend immersed in the traditions of mountainous Crete, Axos is an ideal choice.

Once in the village, explore the archaeological site, where highlights include the awe-inspiring temple of Aphrodite.

Discover the charm of 9 preserved Byzantine churches, including Agia Irini Church, which is a must-see.

On the second day, make sure to stop at the Woodcarving Museum. Here, you'll encounter intricately crafted figures such as The Lyre, The Cretan, and The Grandfather and the Grandmother.
