Chania Private Tour Agia Triada Monastery

Tour from Chania

The Monastery of Agia Triada (Holy Trinity), or Tzagarolon Monastery as it is also known, is one of the most impressive and most beautiful monasteries you will see in Crete. The Monastery is located on the Akrotiri Peninsula, in the north of Chania Prefecture and is 15 kilometres from Chania. It was built in 1634, on the site of a small church dedicated to the Holy Apostles. The monks Lavrentios and Ieremias who built the monastery came from the great Veneto-cretan Tzagarolos family, which is reported to have exercised great influence on the local Orthodox and Catholic communities. The two brother monks were highly educated, learned in history, Greek and Latin, and also architecture.

"Secrets of Crete" provides a fascinating Private Tour My husband and I had the good fortune to have spent the day with Joseph Batis, who has tours exploring some of the lesser known parts of Crete, Greece. In our correspondence with him prior to the day we had available, he customized the itinerary to fit our specific requests.

Visitors from Maryland

"Great way to discover Crete off the beaten track" Joseph from Secrets of Crete organised a brilliant tour in the mountains of central Crete today, going off the beaten track to very atmospheric small roads and old villages where we saw no other tourists, only locals.
