Great tour to see a few places in Crete

Elaine_R, Sep 2024
Great value and wonderful tour to see 2 beaches with unbelievably clear blue water. The view from the boat was amazing. The tour guide was well -organized considering the large group size. Highly recommend. The town of Rethymno was pretty- would have liked more time there.

Great experience!

Thank you for another amazing experience, Cretan Odyssey! It was a beautiful tour with a beautiful and friendly guide Elena. The boat trip was fantastic, the palm beach is something unique. We had enough time to explore the town of Rethymnon and enjoy the beach. Special thanks to professional drivers who picked us up and always drove on time! Bravo 👏🏻

Great day, much seen and experienced!

Salome_R, Jul 2025
The trip was mega nice. Definitely worth it if you want to see some great places of the island. Make sure to take bathing suits and good bathing shoes, then you can also walk through the river in the palm forest! Unfortunately, you have very limited time in each place - if you want relaxation you have to find another destination. Tour guide was super nice, thank you!

Esperienza unica

FILIPPO_L, Jun 2024
Fantastico, esperienza che ha radunato più cose in una. Palm Beach e la spiaggia adiacente alle grotte é un esperienza spettacolare. Fatela perché è davvero unica!!! Noi siamo stati coccolati dalla nostra grande e fantastica guida Elisabetta; italiana, vive in Grecia da più di 25 anni ci ha spiegato di tutto e pure di più. Grazieeee! torneremo Dio piacendo. A presto Fily e Dory
