We are from Cyprus living in Athens last 8 years and we visited Crete for second time and for second time we booked this tour with Tours in Heraklion, tour agency. Spyros, the driver guide, made the experience exceptional. He is very knowledgeable entertaining and passionate, answered all the questions and believe me, there were many questions we asked all day long. We could'nt believe that we could see and explore so much about the region and Crete, in just a few hours. Driving is so nice with many stops, showing us the flora and fauna, telling us stories about every village we were passing through and taking many pictures. We stopped in an olive oil mill, tasted many kinds of locals olive oils, learned about the old windmills, there are two different types of windmills, for irrigation and for making a flour, visited a monastery, stopped in a grocery store for Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts, stopped in a pottery to see the craftsman in action, amazing experience there, we had a Greek coffee and some homemade cookies in a café running by 80 years old lady, had a local food in family tavern, picked some fresh strawberries and had a glass of Cretan white wine and our last stop was at Knossos Palace. I highly recommend this tour to everyone, even if you are just for a day in Crete.
5 stars are not enough for this tour.
Thank you, Nikos and Spyros for this unforgettable day!
