Get ready to explore the ancient city of Athens. We'll visit the acropolis (including the Parthenon and Mars Hill where Paul addressed the Athenians) and the famous Monastiraki before taking an overnight ferry to Crete. 

Get a taste of history and visit the famous port town of Heraklion and Knossos, Crete's famous archeological site and the birthplace of Western Civilization. 

We'll base in one place in the South of Crete for a few days where you can go at your own pace. Enjoy beaches, outdoor activities, and connect with other women in the group before we head to the Chania Region.

Visit one of Crete's most specatular beach destinations: Balos. We'll cruise to Gramvousa island and the Balos Lagoon. If time allows, we'll make a stop at Manousakis Winery to sample ancient wine varietals and traditional Cretan culture on the way back to Chania town. 

We are leaving this day open for a potential service project with a local church organization where we can connect, serve, and gain insight into the local needs to build the kingdom. 

We'll attend a local church in Chania, connect with believers at a local coffee shop ministry, and spend the afternoon exploring Chania town before having a final farewell dinner at a traditional Cretan restaurant.. 

Savor one last Cretan breakfast and we'll say our "see you laters" ending the trip at CHQ - Chania International Airport Ioannis Daskalogiannis.
