What are people saying about Heraklion

Fabulous day
It was a great day out despite the hot weather. We had two stops of 90 mins before the boat ride to Spinalonga. Elounda and Agios Nickolas were lovely places to stop and look around. I loved the boat ride over to Spinalonga. The island was so interesting. Fantastic value for money and would highly recommend the excursion if you are in Crete.

Great day tour in Crete
Stavros was a terrific guide on our full day tour of Knossos & Lasithi Plateu Villages Tour. He kept us informed and entertained with his humor throughout the day. The highlights for sure were learning about how to select the best olive oil, hiking up and entering the beautiful Zeus cave, and seeing Knossos Palace. Definitely consider this tour if you are visiting the island of Crete.

Beautiful day in Crete
George is a very knowledgeable, professional and attentive guide. We took a tour of the Kourtaliotiko Gorge after being picked up at our Hotel followed by a visit to the beautiful Kalypso beach and finished with a beautiful late lunch at Taverna Dionyssos. We would book a tour with George again, from planning to the day of the excursion communication was great.

Best experience ever !
Wow this was a fantastic night to end our hoilday on, the ride was extreme getting to the view point , but my goodness was it worth it ! The ride is bumpy if your sat in the back, but the guide changed seats atound during the trip so everyone got to seat in a different seat! Our guide forgive me if I spell his name wrong we allias he was fantastic so kind chatting sharing knowledge chatting to us all , we was English the others was German ! But we all had a blast and communication was achieved and it was nice being with other people who didn’t speak English we still shared the same experience and managed to chat around the barriers ! I milked a goat bought some honey from a Shepard met his herd , we had dinner in a raven in the mountains , and there was a great shop next door where a chap makes hand made wooden items bracelets all sorts of things. I give this trip ten ten ! Be brave the mountain is high and the roads are a tad scary , but it’s all part of the fun! Thank you so much am going to be telling everyone about this trip! Thank you to our guide who took fantastic photos gave us champagne fresh fruit at the top, shared his skills and was super caring and really took the time to chat to us all and get to know each of us! Thank you and book this trip it’s a trip of a lifetime love kelly and mark from the uk

Crete’s capital and largest city, Heraklion, sits not far from the center of the island’s north coast, meaning you can reach anywhere in Crete on a day trip—while ferries will bring you as far afield as Santorini. Some of the top Heraklion day trips include sailing to uninhabited Dia Island, off-road safaris through villages and olive groves, hiking the 10-mile (16-kilometer) Samaria Gorge, and heading west to Chania Old Town or pink-tinted Elafonisi Beach. From the Lassithi Plateau windmills to the fortress isle of Spinalonga, Heraklion makes the perfect base.
