Visit one of the most historic monasteries of the island and swim in crystal clear blue waters at the end of a magnificent gorge.
The quiet, spiritual Agiofarago with its wild beauty is a great way to escape day to day life and relax at a secluded beach with sapphire blue waters and steep walls that will leave you in awe.
After getting acquainted with your guide and following a short briefing, you will head south, through the plain of Messara, to Agiofarago: the gorge of the Saints. We first reach Odigitria Monastery where we will make a short stop. One of the most important monasteries in Crete, built in the 14th century. After our visit to the monastery we start driving towards the beach of Agiofarago . At this point, the road changes into a dirt road, which leads us to the parking lot of Agiofarago and the entrance to it. From there on, we will continue on foot. We will follow the path crossing the gorge, which is scattered with imposing oleanders and olives. In about 30 minutes we will be on the beautiful beach and the Libyan Sea, where you could enjoy a swim and a small snack at the beach.
After everyone has relaxed and is ready to go, we will bord the car once more and head towards the hotel where the excursion will conclude.
