More than we imagined!!!
We booked a private walking tasting tour for our shore excursion from a cruise. Jon was a fantastic and entertaining guide who took us to 7 spots to try the best of local food and legendary restaurants that had been in business for years, including one that was established 98 years ago. Each place was expecting us and knew our guide so we were seated quickly and food came out almost immediately. Jon told us the history of the food and the area, as well as explaining each dish and its ingredients.. We had gyros unlike any we’ve ever had, bougatsa, moussaka, Chaniotiko boureki, loukoumades, (think I got those right!) and so many other delicious treats plus Greek coffee. We then walked from new town to old town to a grocery store where we tasted olive oils (and Jon and explained how to properly taste them), pistachio butter, honey, marmalade, and balsamic vinegar. It was beyond anything I was expecting and far more food than I had anticipated. Jon also walked us through the old town shopping area and to the port and frequently gave us opportunities for pictures. He took us through cute little streets and explained the fort structures as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour or guide. All four of us in our group felt this was a very memorable and delightful experience. Wonderful!!!

A great excursion with a wonderful guide!
Our travel guide, Apostolos, is one of the best guides we have met in all the traveling we have done. He was informative, entertaining and knew his history. He answered all our questions and left us with a better understanding of Crete’s history. He kept us laughing the entire excursion. We wish him the best.

A wonderful day out!
Amazing drive through the countryside, with some breathtaking views (coach driver George was very skilled).
The weather wasn't great for our trip, but we still enjoyed a few hours at the beach. Be prepared for crowds! The bus had sun umbrellas we could borrow, which meant we could set up anywhere. Most of the swimming beach area is quite shallow, so perfect if you have kids. It's about a 10 minute walk from the carpark to the beach, then a thigh-deep wade across to the island (if you choose). Don't expect the sand to be particularly pink 😜.
The drive itself was surprisingly enjoyable, accompanied by wonderfully informative commentary from our guide Simona.
In Elios, go to the family run taverna for a traditional Cretan meal!

The most amazing day!
We had the most amazing day beautifully planned by Spyros, our local guide! We hit the palace of Knossos early to avoid the long lines, then got to learn about the manufacturing of olive oil at a local mill! The olive oil is so tasty! Then we headed into the mountains to experience local culture of the Lasithi plateau by participating in strawberry picking, tasting local tea, visiting a local pottery master, and relishing the amazing local food at a charming tavern by the Lasithi windmills! We got a fair amount of exercise with the hike to the cave of Zeus, that way we didn't feel too guilty about how much food we ate! You will not regret this chance to delve into the local culture! Thank you Spyros and Nikos for a lovely day full of memorable experiences and for treating us like family!
