About this excursion

Perfect tour for those seeking an authentic Cretan experience, the tour takes you to a historic monastery, followed by a breathtaking drive through Therisso Gorge, where you’ll soak in stunning mountain views.

Depending on the day, we will visit one of the local monasteries—either the Monastery of Metamorfosi or the Monastery of Odigitria. Both are excellent choices, offering an authentic experience of spiritual tranquility and unique architecture that reflects Crete’s rich religious and cultural heritage.

Then, we will drive through the scenic Therisso Gorge, admiring the towering cliffs and lush landscape that create one of Crete’s most impressive natural wonders.

There is also the option to stop for lunch at a traditional, family-run restaurant in the mountains. (optional)

Whichever option you choose, this tour offers an unforgettable journey into Crete’s rich history and natural beauty.
