Description:
Driving along scenic country roads and through traditional villages, this tour includes a visit to Palaiokastritsa, one of the most famous locations on the island. Surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees, it is set around three bays. According to legend, Paleokastritsa is where Odysseus was shipwrecked and met Nausica. On the northern end of Paleokastritsa is the 12th-century Byzantine monastery of Theotokos. The Monastery is notable for its ceiling carving of the Tree of Life. Riding through the traditional villages of Lakones and Krini, we will visit Angelokastro, a Byzantine castle set on a steep hill with great views of the island. Along the way, we will make several stops for photo opportunities. This tour includes a light snack.
Last but not least, before we return to our office or the cruise port terminal, the tour ends with a beautiful ride through the old town. During this ride, you will be able to admire the palace of St. Michael and St. George, the Old Fortress, the New Fortress, the Liston area, and Spianada square, the largest square in Greece is located in front of the Old Fortress.
