Detailed description

Private day trip from Chania across Peninsula Akrotiri: Monastery Agia Triada & Stavros Beach

The Agia Triada Tsangarolon Monastery is a small oasis surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and cypresses - a wonderful place to discover the Cretan Renaissance and taste local products such as olive oil, wine and goat cheese. Agia Triada is the first stop on our day trip from Chania via the Akrotiri peninsula. Between the walls of the monastery you can forget about time, whether it is photographing the many architectural details, visiting the folklore museum, the old library or the huge cellar vault of the house. The convent, founded by two Venetian monks, is situated at the end of an avenue of cypress trees below the Akrotiri mountain range - scenically an absolute highlight of this Chania day trip.

After this cultural stopover we visit Zorbas beach in Stavrós in the north of the peninsula. This elongated bay with fine sandy beach is picturesquely situated underneath a mountain, well protected and last but not least became famous as the location of the film "Alexis Sorbas" with Anthony Quinn. Here you can relax wonderfully and enjoy your free time swimming and sunbathing. We have also packed the parasols for the beach trip. In our air-conditioned minibus there are more small details that make this small group tour personal and pleasant. So we have Wifi on board and on the way we show you a presentation about Cretan customs.

At the end of the Akrotiri day tour we stop at the tomb of Venizelos, dedicated to the Cretan statesmen Eleftherios and Sofoklis Venizelos, which is embedded in a park with pine woods. Furthermore, its location on the hill provides us with a beautiful view of Crete, with a view far beyond the bay of Chania and the White Mountains. With this wonderful picture we return from our Akrotiri day trip back to Chania.
