“This was a great trip and we are so glad we booked it. The itinerary was really interesting and full, and let us see aspects of Cretan life we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Our guide, Andre (Jesus) was a perfect host, and obviously loves his job. He provided us with lots of information, funny jokes and fab music, not to mention some great photo opportunities. The lunch was authentic and very tasty. Thanks!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 451 reviews · 450 - 630 minutes · from $47

Road-trip across the Lasithi Plateau to Vidiani Monastery, the Cave of Zeus at Psychro, Krasi, then a guided olive mill farm visit.

“We enjoyed the variety of site visits - monastery, cave, village and Olive mill along with explanations throughout the day. There was an appropriate amount of time at each destination. Lunch at the Olive mill was delicious and a great way to end the tour. Faih, the bus driver, was amazing how she navigated the bus around the hair pin bends on the mountains and through narrow village streets. The perfect way to see a special part of Crete without the stress of driving!”

See a lot of Crete and lots of stops! Big shout out to Michael the tour guide.”

A long, well-guided Crete road trip to Vidiani Monastery, Zeus Cave, Krasi village, and an olive mill farm with tastings.

“We had an amazing time on the tour! The cave of Zeus is beautiful and our guide Helena was wonderful, she gave us lots of interesting information. There is a difficult walk to get to the cave of Zeus, it is worth it but would be difficult for anyone struggling with mobility. There is a wonderful green museum at this spot too, which could always be an alternative. The olive oil factory was also a great experience, and their products were delicious.”
