Overview of your Agios nikolaos tour:

Over the centuries, Cretans have imbued this ancient land with the vivid presence of Christianity by founding monasteries, churches, & chapels of great religious import. Come with me on a journey to the heart of Central Crete, weaving our way in the paths of Apostle Paul from North to South to the land of generosity. An untouched paradise on earth, beloved by our forefathers, where fertile soils treasure lavish vineyards & the oldest olive groves seem to stretch toward the horizon. We will visit authentic religious monuments always built-in stunning landscapes. Some of them were fortified & others are situated on the sites of archaic temples illuminating the long devotion to Christianity in Crete. Let me take you on a true passage of time meandering through the Minoan wonders of Messara plain to embrace the magnificent views of Phaistos Palace. In the afternoon, find yourself on the Southern shores of Matala. Bask in the waters of the Libyan Sea & unwind at delicious fish tavernas on the waterfront.
