Archanes is a traditional village with unique architecture. We take a walk through the villages streets, were we meet colorful houses and flourishing gardens. A combination that awakes your senses. We visit the Archaeological Museum of Archanes, beautiful Byzantine churches and the “Tourkogeitonia”. So much history waiting to be told! We then visit a traditional weaving shop. Here you will learn about the art of weaving and even try it out! What’s next? We relax the Cretan way at a traditional “kafeneio”. A refreshment and some Cretan “snack” is just what we need, before we continue to the country side.

We drive, 800m high, to the breathtaking Sacred Mountain of Juktas, that is also known as the “Talking Mountain” or the “Face of Zeus”. The chapel, “Afentis Christos” is on the top, where the view is absolutely fascinating. During the Minoan times this spot was a place of worship.
