Top Chania Day Trips - page 3

This is a great excursion especially if you don't want to drive the rough road yourself or hike down to Balos in the heat. Yiannis was an experienced and informative driver. We took great pictures of Balos Bay and then had a relaxing afternoon at Falasarnna beach. The day ended with a nice lunch at the beach tavern.

Cannot rate this day highly enough. Angie was so knowledgable and helpful. When the gorge was closed due to high winds she quickly adapted the day to suit us. Also when my husband left his sunglasses in the car she went out of her way to get them back to us again, enlisting the help of her cousin. Thank you so much!

Our Elafonisi and Milia Mountain excursion was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Crete. A huge thank you to our guide, Dimitris, who made the entire experience unforgettable. He is incredibly knowledgeable, well-educated and clearly very well-travelled. His passion for Crete shines through in everything he shares and his positive energy, sense of humour and enthusiasm made the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. He struck the perfect balance between providing fascinating insights and creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere throughout the day. The tour was also exceptionally well organised. We were kept well hydrated with plenty of complimentary bottled water available throughout the trip, which was especially appreciated in the Cretan heat. Elafonisi Beach is simply breathtaking. The crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft pink-tinged sand and stunning natural scenery make it an absolute must-visit when you're in Crete. Milia Mountain Retreat was equally impressive. Nestled in the mountains, it's a truly unique and peaceful place with spectacular surroundings. The traditional food we enjoyed there was outstanding - fresh, authentic and absolutely delicious. If you're visiting Crete, I couldn't recommend this excursion highly enough. With incredible locations, amazing food and a guide like Dimitris bringing the island to life, it was an experience we'll remember for years to come.
