What's included in Private Tour from Elounda: East Crete & Mirabello Magic
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
From your preferred pickup point, our skilled guide will be ready to transport you on a one-hour journey to the heart of our first destination. This driving time provides you with the perfect opportunity to soak in the surrounding views and prepare for the memorable exploration that lies ahead. Together we meet on our way astonishing mountain landscapes, hidden ancient churches with frescoes located in the mountain valleys, a traditional, but not a touristic village, where local people gasp when they see an unfamiliar car, it is so unusual for them to see "strangers" here (here we will have the opportunity to taste real Greek coffee in a real Greek kafeneio - well, let's try to pretend we are locals!)
Next stop is in medieval Monastery called Aretiou. It is located in very quiet area, surrounded by rocks and 12 old cypress trees. You can walk around to see its interior and meet very friendly monk Father Evmenios.
Ahead of us is a place called Plaka - it is a small fishing village, but with a huge soul and long history filled with interesting facts! On the way to Plaka the guide is telling us history facts about Spinalonga island which is opposite to the village. After that we will have a free time for a delicious lunch with fresh seafood in one of the best taverns in the area.
