The Akrotiri Peninsula, just a few kilometers away from the center of Chania, is a great place to spend a day exploring the region. One of the must-see places in Akrotiri is the Holy Monastery of Agia Triada. Located at the end of a road lined with centennial trees, a flock of stone stairs leads your way up to the main courtyard of the monastery. Once inside, pay a visit to the museum and to the Baroque church but don’t overlook the magnificent gardens with fruit trees and gorgeous flowers.
