Chania Cruises, Greece

This Byzantine beauty dates back to the 17th-century and is a glorious Greek Orthodox icon. Located on the green peninsula of Akrotiri, this quiet retreat rewards visitors with true peace of mind. Admire the beauty of the inner courtyard, which is fastidiously cared for. Afterwards, shop raki, wine, olive oil, and honey which is produced onsite by the monks. Then, return to beautiful Chania to see the Venetian harbour and admire the waterfront restaurants.
 
Enrich your holiday with an unforgettable MSC Cruises excursion to the Arkadi Monastery and Rethymno. Constructed during the Venetian period, Arkadi's fortress-like walls house a majestic church, influenced by the Renaissance era. Journey through scenic landscapes to Rethymno, a port town noted for its Venetian harbour, lively taverns, historical lighthouse, and fine-grain beaches. Wander the old quarters and use some free time to enjoy shopping, dining, and drinking.

Then, journey to the harbour city of Heraklion where you'll enjoy shopping, drinking, and tasty Greek food.
