Top Crete Outdoor Activities

We did the quad tour during our honeymoon in Crete and had an absolute blast! It was such a fun change of pace and gave us a completely different way to experience the island. The tour was incredibly well organized, and we felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire experience. The scenery was beautiful, the riding was so much fun, and we loved getting away from the typical tourist experience and seeing another side of Crete. We packed a LOT into our honeymoon throughout Greece, and this was definitely one of those experiences that stood out. If you’re looking for something adventurous, memorable, and a little different while visiting Crete, absolutely add a quad tour to your trip. Thank you for such a fun day and another amazing memory from our honeymoon! ❤️🇬🇷

We took this Luxury Yacht Cruise on 8/5/26, and it was the highlight of fun and relaxation during our Heraklion stay. We loved every minute—from the smooth pre-trip communication to the beautiful yacht, the amazing water, and the onboard experience. I highly recommend it to friends traveling and families. I took the tour with a friend, but I can confidently say it’s truly family friendly too. Pre-tour information I really appreciated the excellent communication. EOS Tours did an amazing job sharing clear information through the tour description, and after booking they reached out via WhatsApp to confirm everything they needed. They also sent a very detailed trip plan that told me exactly what to expect, making it stress-free from the start. The coordinates were also spot-on, so we didn’t feel lost at all. Arrival and check-in Heraklion is extremely busy, and the instructions helped us find the best place to park. We parked, walked to the meeting spot, and saw clear signage that said “Dia meet up”. We arrived about 20 minutes early and were checked in right on time—at 8:45, our guide Leo came to gather everyone and confirm we were all set. I also appreciated their uniform shirts, as it made the team very easy to identify. Onboard experience We walked to the yacht, took off our shoes prior to boarding (which feels standard on really nice tours), and then met the rest of the crew. The captain, Costas, welcomed us aboard with a big smile and a helping hand. We received a proper safety briefing, and departure was perfectly on schedule—exactly at 09:00. The yacht and facilities The yacht is absolutely beautiful—pristine condition, very clean, and clearly well cared for. Everything felt fresh and high quality, and it’s honestly worth the cost because the yacht is maintained to a high standard. There are no more than around 20 people, but the space feels plentiful. We never once felt crowded. The ride itself is about an hour to Dia, and it was a pleasant experience. We even sat toward the front and enjoyed the view—yes, we got wet a bit, but the captain explained the water conditions and it happened exactly as expected. At Dia: activities, scenery, and tips Once we arrived, the crew set everything up quickly and efficiently. We enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. The water was incredible—so blue it honestly didn’t look real. While on Dia, I’d recommend bringing a pair of shoes you can wear in and out of the water, just in case you want to walk to the small church. The scenery is also unbelievably picturesque. If you love social media or photography, this is 10/10—there are so many beautiful places both on the yacht and on the island where you can be creative and capture amazing vacation photos. The food & onboard chef experience Yorgo the chef made the whole experience even better. Before ever leaving the yacht for swimming/water activities, he confirmed food choices so everything was perfectly handled. When we returned to the yacht, the food was ready—and let me tell you, Yorgo is an excellent chef. The timing, preparation, and quality were all spot on. Service, hospitality, and the crew One thing that truly stood out was the way the captain and crew checked in with everyone and kept everything comfortable. Costas continued to check in with all the guests, offered drinks, and met any request with a smile. We also experienced a moment where someone dropped their glasses into the water, and the crew handled it immediately—Leo was very quick to jump in and help retrieve them. That level of care and teamwork made the whole experience feel effortless. End of trip At the end of the trip, we were greeted by the owner, who asked about our experience. We were genuinely happy to share how pleased we were—and we left feeling like we’d gladly return again. EOS is an amazing tour and I would gladly come back next time with my family.

This is THE ONE. If you’re looking to do something new and exciting, book this experience! It was fun and exhilarating to face our fear of heights and push us past our comfort zones. Take close-toed shoes with great traction. I wore Keens; great grip but they kept getting little pebbles in them. Take water and a small snack for afterward.

We had such an amazing time! Nicholas was so lovely and made our experience worthwhile. The horses are well kept and he made sure that beginners new had to control the horses before getting on. The views were fantastic I really recommend going for the 6pm horse ride as the sunset was so beautiful when riding back up the mountain. Would definitely return if we ever came back to Crete!

This was an amazing tour from start to finish. Dimitris was an excellent driver and lovely guy. Communication from Safari Experts was great and we were picked up at the exact time given. The trip itself was high paced. We stopped over 10 times, between picture stops, picking herbs and fresh fruit, making pottery, getting lunch, an olive oil factory and more. Really well worth it. My whole family had a great time.

Quick farm tour and then a nice tasting of the olive oils, marmalades, olives, and tea. Alex was a very nice host and answered all of our questions about the olive oil process. Seeing the dragon fruit plants was fun, too. All items tasted are available for purchase and we bought some to take home with us. We booked this the day before and it was a fun, short excursion (we were done in an hour).

I had a great day, the tour guide Vicky and the driver Stavous were both so welcoming and friendly. There wasn’t too many stops on this tour so I chose this instead of other tour operators. The four hours at the beach definitely flew by. Great way to end my trip to Crete, Greece.

The highlight for us was the Zeus cave. Be aware that it is close to a 20 minute hike, going up pretty much continually. While we did the hike in sandals with no problems, we would recommend running shoes for comfort. There is a little refreshment stand at the top for cold drinks, etc. The cave itself was the highlight for us!!! The rest of the tour was also very interesting and worthwhile as well. The lunch was very good but is a bit later in the day. We were fortunate enough to sit in the forward facing seats for much of the tour. When we switched off to the rear side facing seats, it was a bit awkward and cramped, but that was totally expected. The tour company, Safari Experts, and our guide were excellent as well! In short, yes, we would recommend this tour.
