Discover the natural beauty of Crete on a full-day tour from Rethymno. Explore the Patsos Gorge, the Dam of Potamon, and the Monastery of Arkadi. Enjoy a traditional Cretan lunch at a local tavern.

Start your adventure by delving into the mystical depths of the Cave of Agios Antonios, a hidden treasure adorned with stunning stalactites and stalagmites. As you navigate through this geological marvel, immerse yourself in the rich history and intrigue of the region. Continue your journey along the winding paths of the gorge, where you'll encounter refreshing natural springs bubbling forth from the rocks.

The next stop is at the Dam of Potamon, also known as the Potamon River Dam, a hidden paradise. Explore around the dam and encounter a plethora of plants and wild birds benefiting from nature's abundance. The crystalline springs flowing from the surrounding mountains create an ecosystem ideal for birds, making the dam a paradise for nature enthusiasts.

During your journey, make a stop for coffee and enjoy the dam, allowing its beauty to impress and relax you. Continue to the Arkadi Monastery, a symbol of Cretan resilience and sacrifice. In 1866, during the Cretan Revolution, the monastery played a pivotal role when its defenders chose to face an explosive end rather than submit to Ottoman forces.

The echoes of their bravery are woven into the very fabric of Arkadi's stones. Today, the Arkadi Monastery is a living memorial to those who gave their lives for freedom. Explore the monastery complex, including the church with its richly adorned interior, the powder magazine, and the poignant Monument of the Fallen.

Lastly, go for lunch and have a gastronomic journey that transcends time, where tradition meets taste, and every dish is a tribute to the culinary heritage of Crete.
