In Arkadi Monastery, you can visit the refectory, the powder magazine, the kitchens, the gardens and the museum.

The Monastery of Arkadi is one of the most historic monasteries in Crete and is well worth a visit. It is recognized by Unesco as a "Monument of Freedom". You can visit the refectory, the powder magazine, the kitchens, the gardens and the museum. Note that the monastery is still a place of prayer and houses a religious community. It is also possible to attend a celebration (attention correct dress required). It is possible to walk from the monastery to Thronos (2h30 walk). By car, the road through Perivolia is picturesque.

Très intéressant à visiter de part l'état de conservation, les dépendances, le musée... Et puis l'histoire car c'est ici un haut lieu de résistance et le turc y a laissé des traces macabres.

A mon avis c'est un incontournable

A visiter impérativement, d'abord pour son état de conservation, ensuite pour son histoire : symbole de la résistance à l'invasion turque en 1866.

Un magnifique lieu tout en sérénité et en recueillement. Le monastère présente quelques petites expos sur la lutte d'indépendance contre la Turquie. Gros plus du lieu: les nombreuses fleurs, palmiers, oliviers dans le Monastère. A faire sans hésiter!

The monastery of Arkadi is located near Rethymnon is not get there by bus, train or car. This monastery is still a place of worship. It is possible to visit the gardens, the museum, attend a celebration... Among the many monasteries of the Peak, Arkadi is in my eyes unmissable.
