Wow!!! Great experience. Booked this tour for our short time in Crete from a cruise. My mom uses a scooter so this was perfect for her. Kostas took excellent care of us. Speaks impeccable English, and was full of knowledge. Excellent driver to and from Knossos palace!! I cannot wait to come back to stay longer on this beautiful island. I definitely recommend this tour and book again!!
We had a wonderful cruise to Gramvousa Island and Balos Beach. From the beginning, Natassa was very communicative and so welcoming when planning and booking us. You can tell this is a family run business! We had 6 in our party and opted for the semi private catamaran. The boat was spacious enough that we never felt crowded. The crew, Yiannis (skipper), second hand George and hostess Nena were all very friendly and eager to please and ensure we were all comfortable. We’ve had many cruises around the isles where we were bounced around and had to hold on for dear life but never experienced any rough moments during this cruise even though it was quite windy and turbulent during some areas of the cruise- this was definitely due to the skill by Captain Yiannis! The food on board was delicious also! Overall, this was a fantastic experience and I would book again if we return to Crete!
My husband and I recently booked the Samaria Gorge day trip experience and it was 10/10! Not only did we have the best time, but the process was made incredibly easy from the very beginning. Natassa was so helpful and kind and made sure all my (many) questions were answered during the booking. Then, on the day, everything was super easy — from a punctual pick-up to an even easier drive home after a long day. An extra bonus was that our driver (Kostas) was the best and made sure those long drives were filled with lots of information about the island and friendly conversation. Overall, I cannot recommend this experience more and a big thank you to both Natassa and Kostas for making our first trip to the gorge so memorable!
We had the best afternoon boating trip aboard the 40’ Bavaria yesterday. Our skipper Ioannis regaled us with stories of growing up sailing with his grandfather, helping further my limited greek understanding and keeping us well entertained. We were able to see the endangered kri-kri goats and enjoyed a yummy meal along with a greek beer we had not yet enjoyed. We were also offerered prosecco. By the time we reached port we had become so friendly that I had forgotten we were on an excursion rather than sailing with friends and almost forgot to pay!
Absolutely fantastic!! Can't recommend them enough! I will never hire anyone else if I return to Crete. Before our arrival, all communication was punctual, professional and helpful. Wonderful transportation from our accommodation, lunch they made for us on the boat was great, the stops we made were beyond our expectations (absolutely beautiful!). We especially enjoyed the stop with the caves, we were able to climb around in them - so fun! We had a big group and there was plenty of space, we were very well accommodated and all so happy. Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed!
We had a wonderful time and our driver (Eftychis) for all of our transports was very knowledgeable, kind and safe. He took us everywhere and made our experience in Crete that more special. We took a sailboat to Balos one day and on another we went to the beaches at Elafoninsi and Falassarna. Dinner in Old Town of Chania and I even explored the real estate in Crete around Chania. Highly recommend the entire trip and urge you to explore the west side of the island.
Incredible experience with ioannis and exploring creta. The tour was beautiful and the crew was extremely fun and knowledgeable. This tour was a highlight of our trip, the transportation from our Airbnb, drinks, and meal was included and well worth the price. Would 100% book again if visiting Crete again!
