What are people saying about Chania

Quad/Buggy Safari from Platanias of Chania

Miranda_S, Oct 2026

Beautiful Views of Vineyards and Olive Trees

This was a fantastic tour. You start off at the tour guide’s home with his dog… who is fantastic at finding the ball. Then you head out on a very brief beach ride. After, you head up into the mountains where you see valley after valley of fruit trees, olive farms, and vineyards. It’s spectacular to see. Much better of an experience than following other tourists from the cruise to the port shops. For folks on a cruise, they were very mindful of getting you back on time.

Walking “Food tasting tour” in the town of Chania

Kelly_D, Oct 2026

A special way to taste your way through Chania.

This was a relaxed and great tour. Christos, our guide was so informative and he had so many little surprises for us. Most of the stops we went to were family run for many generations. Christos‘S knowledge of the area, traditions and food as well as his sense of humour made the day great. Thanks.

Authentic Cretan Cooking Class & Farm Experience in Chania, Crete

Bryan_Z, Oct 2026

Highlight of our trip to Crete

This was so Fun!!!! My wife and I were two of 12 participants (a family of 6 including 2 middle school aged and 2 adult children, and 3 other couples) and we had a great time with Sofia and her family. Sofia and her brother (I don't remember his name) were our primary hosts, but we met and interacted with may members of their family throughout our night. For the evening cooking class, we started with wine and getting to know each other, and then prepping the food (Lamb Kleftiko, Boureki, and Gemisto) and a snack (Rusk with tomate spread and goat cheese). We walked over to put the pots to bake in the outdoor oven, and had snacks while looking over the early evening sunset, with more wine. We returned to the prep area and made sweet and savory dumplings for frying, while drinking more wine. After that we went to see the farm's animals, where we got to feed chickens, and bunnies and milk a goat (for those that wanted it). we then walked over the Sofia's grandmother's house to meet her and toast to some distilled on the farm Raki. We then went back to a wonderful and ready dinner, with a few more items added to the table that Sofia's mother (also named Sofia) had prepared for us. We had dinner with more wine with several other family members joining us, before we started playing music first over the speaker, and then a live performance by Sofia's brother. After dinner we had some fruit, wine and more Raki and then had a small fun dance part in the evening air where they showed us the basic steps of a traditional dance with some fiery excitment! We then hung out back at the dinner table until folks slowly went home. We stayed for about 5 hours but could have left easily after 4 or stayed for 6 ot 7! All fo the food was incredible, and essentially EVERYTHING we had to eat and prepare with was harvest and produced on site. Besides this being a business, Sofia and family are passionate about hosting people. We felt like guests and not customers. Would repeat in a heartbeat

Balos & Gramvousa: Cruise with Meals, Drinks & Transfer

Cornelia_G, Oct 2026

Best Day on Crete

Great Experience We caught a perfect day with sunshine and calm sea. The crew did a perfect job. Alfonso gave us a lot of information about the places, the food and all necessary things concerning the really luxurious catamaran. Being about 30-40 people we had a lot of space, everyone was in good mood and could choose to enjoy whereever they liked. Balos and Gramvousa are a dream and a must-see and -enjoy when yoy are on Crete. On this trip you can enjoy, the water, walking in nature, food, drinks and good music. Everything's extraordinary. If you are looking for entertainment, Cretan food, relaxation and adventure it's the cruise for you. ;)

Elafonissi Beach Trip from Chania

Adriana_O, Oct 2026

Hands down, one of my...

Hands down, one of my favorite experiences in Crete! We started the day exploring Agia Sofia Cave in the rain and mist, then made our way through the mountains to Elafonissi Beach, where the weather completely transformed into the most magical beach day! Elafonissi absolutely lives up to the hype! Crystal-clear, calm waters, breathtaking scenery, and genuinely one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever visited. I'd go back in a heartbeat and spend several days there! Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable, and major kudos to our driver for navigating those winding mountain roads! The only downside was having to wait about an hour on the bus for other travelers whose ferry was delayed by bad weather. A little frustrating, but otherwise an incredible experience. Highly recommend! Just remember that group tours operate on a shared schedule. If flexibility matters to you, consider a private tour. Either way, Elafonissi is an absolute MUST!

Crete Wine and Olive Oil Tour

Madison_S, Oct 2026

Wonderful wine tour

We had great time on this tour! The tour guide was wonderful ♥️, and very knowledgeable about the wine in the region, the history of Crete and introducing us to the culture of this beautiful island! We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to taste delicious wine and olive oil from Crete. Communication with the tour company was easy and efficient for those of us commuting from a cruise ship. I cannot wait to visit this island again!

Gastronomy tour and wine tasting in traditional villages

Gregory_B, Oct 2026

What a time!

We had a wonderful time on our tour with our group. The different stops on the trip allow you to experience authentic parts of the island while also trying local cuisine. The food was fresh, the locals were friendly, and our tour guide, Giannis, was pleasant and knowledgeable. We couldn't recommend this more. Come hungry!

Elafonisi & Milia Mountain - Jeep Tour with Loungers and Lunch

Dan_P, Oct 2026

Engaging guide and memorable lunch

Our guide, Dimitrios, was absolutely amazing. He was extremely, friendly, engaging and knowledgeable, providing us with lots of history and interesting facts about the area. There were 6 tourists on this tour - a nice sized group. The highlight of this tour for me was lunch at Milia mountain retreat - it was such a beautiful and unique location with an impressive history and the food was absolutely delicious. I was a little disappointed that Elafonisi beach was so crowded in October but this was out of the control of the tour guide - he got us there early and ensured we had good sun beds, but it didn’t take long for the beach to become very crowded. However, it’s a lovely beach with crystal clear water and some cool rock formations- if you don’t mind crowds you will love it.

Balos Shared Small Group Catamaran Cruise, 22ppl

Mary_G, Sep 2026

10/10 day with Michael and Vera

We had a fantastic day with Captain Michael and stew Vera with ideal weather. They provided a day full of excellence service. They timed our stops so we beat crowds or arrived shortly before they departed. The fresh fruit, lunch, and drinks were a cherry on top. We always felt safe and recommend this crew!

Balos & Falassarna Beach - Jeep Tour with Loungers and Lunch

Mikayla_R, Sep 2026

Beautiful, Relaxing & Accessible - Absolutely Worth It

Absolutely lovely tour guide. This was the perfect blend of scenery, history about Greece and Crete, and a relaxing few hours on the best beach we went to!!! If you are looking for a mild activity (we traveled with a grandma with some minor mobility issues) this is the tour for you!!! Couple minutes of rocky walking to the most picturesque view. The rest was total bliss and relaxation!! Can’t forget to mention the AMAZING and delicious lunch we had as well 10/10- highly recommend

Private Tour Elafonisi Beach with Honey Olive Oil & Wine Tastings

Valerie_M, Jul 2026

Cave, beach and food were all amazing!

This tour is full of beautiful sights along the way. The honey & olive oil tasting was delicious while learning how it was made. The stop at the cave was the highlight for me. Note: it is over 200 steps to reach the cave, with very uneven steps. So, if you or someone in your group has difficulty walking, they have the choice to wait in the air conditioned van. The view from the cave is breathtaking. Inside, you will take a path that shows many views. After the cave, we went to a beach which is also a long walk, but beautiful, clear water. The water depth is mostly 2-3 feet but does have areas where it reaches approx. 4 -5 ft. It’s great for children because the water has movement but not strong waves. You can relax and float in the water or lay in the sandy beach. The last stop was the winery, with a variety of tastings, which also included grape syrup and olive oil to dip breads and salted olives. Everything was delicious! You can purchase anything you like to take home! We really enjoyed the entire day! Also, our ship time at the port was not as long as the tour, but our guide was able to shorten our stops yet still fit everything in and get us back on time which we really appreciated!!
