    A Fun Time From Chania to Knossos

    Margaret_E, Jun 2025
    Maria was the best. She was waiting for us with a big smile as we walked out of the port. Her van was very comfortable with AC, snacks, ice cold water, and homemade treats ( tell Mom they were delicious😋). Our port was changed from Heraklion to Souda so we had to drive across the island to see Knossos and this private tour was the way to do it. The drive was beautiful and Maria was informative ( and funny) the entire way. She dropped us off/ picked us up at each stop… the palace, museum, city center. She was always on time and happy so it made our day so much more fun. On the way back we even stopped at a nice coffee shop with a panoramic view of the sea. Because of Maria, we were able to cram alot into one day off the ship. If you end up in Chania and you just have to see Knossos, my 18 yoa daughter and I highly recommend this tour with Maria. Thanks for an amazing day and hopefully I will get back to Crete someday.
