Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave,Villages, Olive Oil Tour

Evan_Z, May 2026

Best tour on Crete

The experience was a lot more than I thought it was, it definitely overshot my expectations. Marinos was amazing, very personable and knowledgeable. He made the experience fun and memorable. I would say if you could only do 1 tour while on Crete this would be the one to do. It gives you such a beautiful side of the island that I never would have found by myself. Would take a tour with them again! 10/10

Walking “Food tasting tour” in the town of Chania

Mary_M, Apr 2026

Christos is the best!

My husband and I had a thoroughly wonderful experience with Christos and his food tour. He is very knowledgeable about Crete and he picked excellent stops. We had more food than we could possibly eat and had enough leftovers for dinner! I can’t spell all of the Greek dishes but we had savory pastry, gyro, mousaka, chocolate baklava, another incredible chocolate dessert, some tastes of wines, spirits and a very interesting stop at an herb shop. Christos made all the difference- we would book any tour with him!

Quad/Buggy Safari from Platanias of Chania

Hanna_H, Apr 2026

Such a beautiful way to see the mountains!

This is so much fun! I booked this tour with a friend and we both had a blast. The quads are very easy to navigate, and the guide gives you options for insurance if you have a fear of crashing before hand. Luckily they are very easy to maneuver. This tour probably isn’t the best if you have a fear of heights, as you really go up the mountain with some very narrow roads. The guide was very friendly and ensured we knew what we were doing before we began. We would recommend doing this with friends, maybe not young children.

JANE_M, Mar 2026

Tour experience

Our family had such an incredible experience on the honey and olive oil tour, combined with visits to Agia Sophia Cave and the pink sand beach, it truly ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Our tour guide, Aphrodite was amazing, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing her culture. She made everyone feel comfortable and made the entire day flow seamlessly. She also took us to a fantastic spot for authentic Greek food, which ended up being one of the best meals we had on the trip. It was such a thoughtful touch and really completed the experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Crete especially if you're traveling with family and want something meaningful, beautiful, and well-organized.

Great tour. Our guide was funny, full of history, and did his very best to make a cold rainy day as fun as possible.

Balos & Gramvousa Luxury Catamaran Sailing Cruise from Kissamos

Nicole_S, Sep 2025

This will be the highlight of your trip!!

I love the water, and I knew that I would enjoy this outing, but I think this was the highlight of my family's trip. The crew really go out of their way to take care of you, and to make sure that you have a good time. They provide a fresh breakfast with juice and coffee, they cook a lunch on the boat that was some of the best food we had during our entire trip, and a dessert that I heard was delicious...but I missed it because I was enjoying those aqua blue waters to my heart's content (no regrets). I have never in my life experienced beaches this beautiful, and the history of Gramvousa Island is fascinating. All of these things, combined with plenty of wine/beer, and a wonderful group of people from so many different places...it was the perfect way to spend a day! I hope to do it again. Please, if you even think you might have motion sickness...put a patch on or take your medicine ahead of time. My son was sick on the way out to the beach, but he recovered fairly quickly. The crew was great at giving him tips on how to get through it, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
