With this tour we will go to the Eastern part of the island of Crete. Our first stop will be the monastery of St. George. The monastery is located in the mountain gorge Selinari, right in the rock cells. The first building was built in the period of the Byzantine Empire. If you believe the giving, it was here that the monk Nikolaos was able to find an icon with the image of St. George. The most visited place in the monastery is a cross set on a rock in honor of the death of Nikolaos. A huge number of pilgrims and tourists come here every day, as it is believed that before you go on a journey along the road that runs along the gorge, which keeps a lot of dangers, it is necessary to visit the temple of the patron Saint and put a candle in it.

Our next stop will be the town of Naples. Once in Naples you will appreciate the location of a small town. It stands right next to the mountains and is surrounded by olive gardens. Beautiful in a way that captivates the spirit. The city itself is really small. Residential buildings are located in the square. Between them stretch narrow stone streets, which all converge on the main city square. 

After strolling through the town we will head to one of the most ancient monasteries of Eastern Crete - Kremasta. This rock-built women's monastery is dedicated to the Holy archangels Michael and Gabriel. The monastery was founded in the last period of the Venetian rule, in 1593. In the main temple of the monastery is kept the miraculous image of the Archangel Michael - assistant and patron of all who come here with faith. The sisters of the monastery of Kremaston are engaged in icon painting, embroidery of Church vestments, collect and process Cretan herbs, making liqueurs and oils, creams and Soaps on their basis.

We will continue our journey and the next item of the program will be located at the foot of the mountain ridge Lassithi village Kritsa is famous throughout Crete for its Byzantine Church. In addition, this village is the center of Cretan folk crafts: in summer its streets are covered with lace, carpets and embroidered tablecloths. On the main street there are many taverns and cafes, from which it is pleasant to observe the beautiful valley down to the coast.

Then we will go to the beautiful village of Plaka, which was once a fishing, is now quite a popular tourist destination. Located in the North-Western part of the Gulf of Mirabello, the village is famous for its fantastic scenery on the island of Spinalonga and a unique stone alley with solar powered lanterns.

From the Plaka we will head to one of the most fashionable resort towns of Crete - Elounda. Spread out in the depths of a picturesque Bay, Elounda is protected from sea disturbances. Numerous bars, restaurants and taverns offer excellent local cuisine. Almost all places have a beautiful view of the Bay or the ancient city. The modern resort is contrasted with the surrounding Cretan villages. Life in them is almost the same as thousands of years ago. Still, at the dawn at sea, leaving fishermen, children and the elderly spin tackle, from the taverns came the wonderful smell of Greek coffee. And all this leisurely life plunges into a unique atmosphere of happiness and peace.
