The tour starts with a visit at the monastery of Agia Triada. Built in the 17th century, with a majestic cruciform church, it is set on a wonderfully overgrown landscape of olive groves and cypress trees. Continuing our drive towards the picturesque province of Apokoronas, we will stop at the archaeological site of Aptera, set on  an impressive position with great vistas. We will explore the extensive ruins of the ancient city, before continuing on to the tiny village of Maheri, a typical, unspoilt Cretan village where we will stop for refreshments. Driving further inland and we will visit the Byzantine chapel of Agios Nikolaos, with remarkable frescoes. A scenic drive will follow along the foot of the White Mountains, taking us to Zourva, for a delicious Cretan meal at a family-run taverna. Upon return journey, we will drive through the historic village of Therisso and its beautiful gorge.
