Description of the tour:
Among the most interesting natural wonders of Crete, the beautiful Kourtaliotiko Gorge is a wild and mesmerizing destination where you can admire unique geological formations, magnificent waterfalls, and the pristine nature of Crete. This is a gorge of unique beauty, with a breathtaking wild landscape and rich flora and fauna, including many rare species of birds. The gorge has a rather large length from north to south, and at the exit from it there is a beautiful Preveli beach. This beach is located on the edge of the gorge, among the picturesque rocks. And we will go there by boat from the chic Damnoni beach.
If you are not a beach lover, you can visit one of the most important monasteries in Crete. Preveli is home to the Miraculous Cross, founded in the 16th century and built on a rocky hill. This monastery is of interest to a wider range of travelers, not only believers and pilgrims. Despite its secluded location, the monastery did not manage to stay away from many important events, wars, and battles. And its clergy are the personification of masculinity, courage, and self-sacrifice...
The complex of monasteries was destroyed six times. Five times, in different periods, the Turkish occupiers broke it. The sixth, in 1941, was destroyed by the German army. Various goods and furniture were seized, including the decoration of the church, and a precious relic, the Miraculous Honest Cross. Fortunately, he was later returned to the monastery under almost miraculous circumstances.
Our trip will end with a walk through the Venetian town of Rethymno, with its narrow streets and unique atmosphere.
