Exploring the Fortezza and Arcadi Monastery was a fantastic way to spend our day, and we loved the private aspect that allowed us to soak in the sights at our own pace. While the transportation was comfortable, we found the schedule a bit tight towards the end, leaving us wanting a little more time to linger in Rethymno.

Our day in Agia Paraskevi was filled with highlights, particularly the fascinating history of the Fortezza and the tranquil beauty of the Arcadi Monastery. Although we enjoyed the private setting, some parts of the tour felt a bit rushed, which made it hard to soak everything in fully.

The rich history we encountered at the fortress was eye-opening, though the pace felt a bit rushed at times.
