Western Crete: Aptera archeological site, Chania, Rethymno
Overview of your Heraklion tour
First stop will be the Archeological site of Aptera, an ancient town with stunning views of Souda bay from above. We will walk through an ancient theatre, Roman baths and Cisterns as well as an Ottoman Castle for photos. After this short stop we will visit the town of Chania with its unique and colourful identity. The town amazes every visitor for its picturesque port and old historical centre full of multicultural monuments. It's ideal for shopping, eating or just relaxing by the old Venitian port. After Chania, on our way to Rethymno, we make a stop at the traditional Cretan village of Georgioupolis for lunch, drinks or just unwinding. As an optional activity is swimming at a nearby beach of Georgioupolis one of the longest sandy beaches in Crete. Last stop will be the Venetian town of Rethymno where we will walk together through narrow alleys that lead to luxurious Venetian mansions, Catholic Churches and Mosques. The imposing fortress on top of the hill offers stunning views of the town above.
