Wai Beach + Visit to the Toplu Monastery + Walk around the city of Sitia
Description:
We offer you an excursion to the famous beach Vai.
Vai Beach is about 5000 date palms that are located in a picturesque valley.
According to legend, palm trees appeared here after the arrival of the Phoenicians, who threw on the ground the bones of the dates eaten by them.
In the picturesque taverns located here you can enjoy the peace and beauty of this place.
Further, our way goes to the Toplu monastery, which rises among the desert, waterless terrain.
In the monastery there are significant icons of the 14th – 18th centuries.
Toplu Monastery was one of the richest monasteries in Crete.
On the way home, if desired, you can stop in the city of Sitia and have a cup of coffee.
