Taken September, 2019
From the Royal Caribbean website:
“Journey to the countryside of Crete and gain a deeper appreciation of Cretan tradition and heritage. Enjoy a guided coach tour to a village that prides itself on a patriotic battle in 1896 that resulted in an end to Turkish domination. Stop at the nearby ruins of the Karidi Monastery, then continue to a local winery to enjoy the fruit of Crete’s vines. End your tour with free time to roam Chania Town.
Highlights:
• Vamos: Explore a village founded by 8th century Arab pirates; see stunning arched ruins at an 8th- century monastery.
• Braoudakis Winery: Sample tantalizing local wine and discover warm Cretan hospitality at this family operation.
• Chania Town: Wander among shops, try the food, and enjoy Turkish and Venetian architecture, with 45 minutes free time.”
