Overview

Start your day tour discovering the beautiful east part of Crete!
The day tour starts from visiting Toplou, a 15th-century monastery located in a dry and barren area. Toplou monastery is one of the most significant monasteries in Crete, dedicated to Panagia (Virgin Mary) and St. John the Theologian.
Continue the tour, to visit the largest palm forest in Europe, Vai Palm Beach. The palm forest draws thousands of visitors each year. They come not only for its wonderful palm forest, but also for the large sandy beach spread out at its foot.
Last stop of the day is at Sitia town, one of the least "touristy" parts of Crete, that was built up in Venetian times.
