Excellent tour through beautiful countryside

WilliamR_A, May 2026

Very knowledgeable, fun tour guide Viola. Very flexible. Allowed us to visit the famous Arkadi Monastery which wasn’t on our itinerary but was just off our route. The delightful villages in the Amari Valley are a remaining bit of Greece but lightly touched by tourism.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you — you were wonderful company, and it was a pleasure guiding you through these beautiful parts of Crete. I’m delighted you enjoyed Arkadi Monastery and the peaceful villages of the Amari Valley. Please also give my warmest wishes to your wife — a very happy birthday to her. I hope the year ahead brings her joy, health, and many beautiful travels. I look forward to welcoming you both and your brother and wife again whenever Crete calls you back. As promised, next time we will make a walking tour ;) All the best Viola

Great orchid tour

Paul_G, May 2022

Varied villages visited, then onto mountain for orchids and tulip. Not disappointed, fabulous for tulipa doerfleri, orchis anthropophora, italica , purpurea, quadripunctata, pauciflora, Neotinea lactea, Anacamptis ?boryi, Ophrys lutea, fusca, bombyliflora, apifera, scolopax heldreichii and Serapias sp. Great lunch in village cafe. Recommend if interested in flora especially orchids. Ended in spili before ending. Guide very friendly and knows area especially cafes etc off usual tourist routes.

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear Patsy and Paul, thank you very much for your impressions. It was indeed a super day and unforgettable since I've learned so much from you about orchids and others. The award goes to...you both I would like to welcome again and wish you all the best.
