Hera was an important deity in ancient Greece. And, according to legend, she was born in the Heraion, a stone’s throw from the Aegean. We’ll kick off in the ruins of this sanctuary – now a UNESCO World Heritage Site – strolling along the Sacred Way to see the temple and other relics. Next, you’ll visit an Orthodox monastery before dropping by a ceramic workshop .
Next up is an organic olive factory, where you’ll get to sample some of its natural products. Then, it’s on to tiny Potami, where you’ll have free time for lunch. There’s a lovely beach if you fancy a swim. Or there’s a waterfall nearby as well as the ruins of a Genoese castle. In the afternoon, you can explore at your own pace in the seaside village of Kokkari. Here, you can savour views over the sea and Karvounis Mountains.
