Overview

Start your day tour from the lovely town of Ierapetra known for its famous local products. Contunue the tour, to discover the beautiful east part of Crete. 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. The day tour includes a visit to 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.
Part of the tour is a visit to Sitia town, one of the least "touristy" parts of Crete, that was built up in Venetian times.
