The Religious Tourism office with the discreet title Religious Travel creates new prospects for an alternative touristic tour; The one of religious tourism. Our workforce consists of Licensed Tourist Guides. Graduate theologists both spiritually and ecclesiastically trained, give their own stamp with their presence. The office aims to promote a form of guided tour that goes beyond the concept: I visit, I see, admire, but rather to enter into a more substantive approach of Divine worship, beyond museum religious exhibits and architectural structuring that either way the visitor will see.<\/p>

Our tours concern people with spiritual pursuits. People who want to experience the sense of time being nullified on monastic sites, where land joins the sky in a devout atmosphere. We address to people who primarily respect the spiritual heritage of Crete, with its sanctified places on every corner. To those who feel the need to kneel in front of the hagiographic icons and pray. To live the mystagogy listening to hymns from our\nByzantine music heritage. To learn about the lives of the Saints, to visit the Temples and their history. They will have the opportunity to talk with the revered fathers of our church, to express queries and questions about the\nOrthodox Faith. To discover and clarify the particularities and differences in the religious doctrines and concepts that concern them.<\/p>

We have the possibility to undertake the planning of each excursion, together with the interested party, based on his own needs and special preferences. In private, but also in groups of a limited number of people, where they will be able to participate in services, as well as in traditional gatherings, or festivals in conjunction with a local religious holiday. The services we provide also extend to the organization of conferences, workshops, internal and external excursions, as well as acquaintance trips between the Holy Metropolises and Parishes, exchanging ideas and opinions on a spiritual and real level. Responsible and contracting parties possessing a collective spirit, we ensure absolute legality in our negotiations by issuing similar documents.<\/p>

Respecting the sensitivity and reverence of the ecclesiastical space, we act with discretion and obedience to the instructions of the Superior, so as not to create the slightest disturbance in the Holy Monastic community. We consider our success, the satisfaction on the face of the pilgrim, who managed to store in his luggage something more than a photographic material and souvenirs. A treasure trove of knowledge about the ecclesiastical becoming of our traditions and faith.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
