Cruise Crete’s coast from Malia with hotel transfers, two swim stops, snorkeling, lunch, drinks, and friendly family-run service.

Visit Crete’s famous Elafonisi Beach from Chania, with hotel transfers, mountain scenery, four beach hours, and a traditional Elos stop.
“Guide is such a brilliant woman, who knows and loves Crete. She can recommend you anything you want, she is really kind and knows what she is doing. The road there was worth this money, and all the company of interesting people. Elafonisi is defiantly worth seeing, I can only recommend to bring water shoes with you if you want to walk on the rocks. Thank you so much, it's the most beautiful expirience in my life ❤️❤️❤️ P.S. Don't be late for the bus, they will not wait for you. Gathering people together was really fast and didn't take that much time.”
Review of the $199 Santorini day trip from Heraklion, with high-speed boat transfers, Oia, Fira, guided sightseeing, costs, crowds, and practical tips.
“Onze gids kon Nederlands en was heel aardig en vertelde enthousiast veel over het eiland. Oia zelf was heel erg druk zoals verwacht. De 2e stad vonden wij persoonlijk veel gezelliger en leuker om te winkelen. Jammer was wel dat de optie voor vulkaan bezoek van de tijd zou gaan dus hierom hebben wij er niet voor gekozen omdat de tijd al niet erg veel was. Verder mooie dag gehad.”

Hike Crete’s Samaria Gorge with transfers, a trained guide, Libyan Sea swim, Agia Roumeli stop, and south-coast boat ride.
“Our tour guide, Claudia, was wonderful. Given the logistics involved in a trip like this, there’s potential for so much to go wrong but everything was slick and professional. Whether you think the hike itself is tough or easy obviously depends on your fitness and love for this sort of adventure. It will be a completely different experience for everyone. My friend, who has knee probelms, found the experience pretty excruciating but still managed to complete it and said she was glad to have gone. The scenery was beautiful and the trail wasn’t too busy after the first hour when everyone’s different paces meant the crowds thinned out. We went…”
