- The Arkadi Monastery is a historic Eastern Orthodox monastery situated on a fertile plateau 23 km to the southeast of Rethymnon.
- It is renowned for its role in the Cretan resistance against Ottoman rule in 1866. The monastery has great significance in Greek history and is also known for its impressive architecture and beautiful surroundings. It’s a popular destination for visitors interested in history and religious landmarks.
- Next, is a visit to the museum and its exhibition of the findings of ancient Eleftherna. The originality of this museum is that the objects in the permanent exhibition are periodically updated with new and older excavated finds so that public interest is continuous.
- We then head to the village of Margarites, which is famous for its pottery production of Minoan inspiration. Strolling through the narrow streets of Margarites, you will see beautifully decorated doors and walls from the times of Venetian rule. The village gives a real sense of what Cretan villages were like in past centuries.
