Arkadi Monastery and Margeritas Village
At this exceptionally sunny day,the 6th of January, Noel and me decided to take a daytrip by car in direction of the East Coast,more precisely to Margeritas village ( village of ceramics) and to Arkadi Monastery .
After 1h drive we reached Margeritas (b.t.w.not my first time there, ...), a place that can offer you a variation of some small local handcraft shops ( ceramics) and a besides that .... a monastery.
