The excursion begins from Rethymno and our first stopis at the historic Arkadi Monastery, which gained international fame thanks to its involvement in the Cretan Revolt and its highlight in November 1866, when the Turkish troops led siege to the monastery where 700 women and children and 260 Cretan fighters were locked after the Abbot refused to surrender.After that, you will have the chance to be and take a tour at the new Eleftherna Museum, the first museum of archaeological site in Crete. At Eleftherna, which is declared as an archaeological landscape with natural beauty and archaeological zones, there aren’t only the findings that caused the interest of the international scientific community, but also the environment that coexists with the cultural heritage.When the tour at the museum is finished, we will visit Margarites village, which is unquestionably the most important pottery center of West Crete.
