Highlights
  • Agios Georgios Monastery - Selinari Monastery, nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Crete, stands as a testament to faith and history. Founded in the 16th century, this sacred site holds deep significance for Orthodox Christians and attracts visitors seeking spiritual solace and cultural enrichment.
  • Richtis Gorge - For the intrepid explorer, Richtis Gorge offers more than just scenic beauty—it is a sanctuary for adventure and discovery. Trekking through its winding pathways, visitors may encounter rare bird species, elusive wild goats, and other inhabitants of this pristine ecosystem.
  • Azorias Ancient Olive Tree - Standing proudly in the tranquil village of Kavousi, Crete, the Azori Olive Tree commands reverence and awe as a living testament to the passage of centuries. Believed to be one of the oldest olive trees in the world, this ancient sentinel has borne witness to the ebb and flow of history, its gnarled branches intertwined with the stories of generations past.

Nestled amidst the sun-drenched hillsides of eastern Crete, the Azori Olive Tree casts a timeless silhouette against the azure sky. Its weathered trunk, twisted and gnarled with age, speaks of the countless seasons it has endured, while its sprawling canopy offers shade and sanctuary to those who seek respite beneath its boughs.

Legend has it that the Azori Olive Tree traces its roots back over 3,000 years, to a time when ancient civilizations flourished on the island of Crete. Through conquests and conquests, wars and peace, it has stood steadfast, a silent witness to the passing of time.
