Overview of Apokoronas - Full Day Shore Excursion from Chania

We'll start from Chania or Souda and head to the ancient city of Aptera, first mentioned on Linear B tablets dating back to 1400 BC. The city thrived during the Minoan, Mycenean, Classical Greek and Hellenistic periods, while the Ottomans built next to it an imposing fort named Subashi, which enjoys great views over the Bay of Souda and Apokoronas. From there we'll head to the twin Byzantine church of St Nicolas & St John, built in the 10th century. Then we can have a pit-stop for coffee or local soft drinks by the springs of Stilos, or stop at a place where you can try local ice cream made from sheep milk. Then, we will head to the monastery of St George in Karydi and visit its impressive olive factory, and continue on to Vamos for lunch and a walk around its picturesque Old Quarter. On our way back to Chania we could stop en route at an olive factory, in order to learn more about its harvest, products and benefits. Join me on this great tour of Apokoronas!
