Overview
Living present meets Cretan history and archaeology!
We set off from Plakias towards the east of the island and first reach Phaistos, the second largest Minoan palace in Crete, where we have time to visit the ruins and learn more about Minoan culture. Afterwards we continue to Mires to visit one of the most beautiful farmers markets in Crete. The market extends over an entire street it is enough time to enjoy some traditional snacks. Just the way you like it.
From Mires we continue to the Messara Museum, which opened in 2023. It highlights the uniqueness of an important region over time: from prehistory to the Middle Ages.
Only one kilometer away is the last stop of our cultural journey. Gortys, the former capital of the Roman province of Crete. There we visit the impressive archaeological site.
From there we make our way back to Plakias.
