“such a brilliant afternoon/evening. sure you'll get muddy, dusty, chilly, you'll ache a little, but just do it you won't regret it, the views are amazing, your guide is wonderful and very amusing, highly recommended”
Air-conditioned round trip from Georgioupolis to Samaria Gorge, guided hike to Ayia Roumeli beach, plus ferry return.
“Mostly downhill walk at your own pace. Frequent water and WC stops makes it a nice day.”
Highspeed boat from Heraklion to Santorini, guided Oia and Fira, optional volcano cruise, and Caldera views in an 11 hour day.
“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.”
Horseback through Crete's Finikia Mountains from Heraklion, with picnic, Cretan lunch and wine, plus hotel transfer. 4.5 hours.
“Wonderful hosts & an equally wonderful excursion. Absolutely no regrets, as from start to finish both the host and his beautiful daughter saw to every need. From everyone's abilities with the horses and pairing each to just the right horse, to the fabulous lunch that followed afterwards. We truly, in the entire group, were made to feel like family and the conversation just flowed, fabulous friendships were made and a memory that we will cherish always and this is all because the hosts made sure this is what each one of us came away with. So a big thank you from the deepest soul of our hearts and I will…”
Acqua Plus Water Park in Crete offers a full day of slides, lazy river time, and optional hotel transfer from Rethymno for $34.
“Le parc est cool à faire cependant ça manque un petit peu d’entretien général je trouve, et les rainures de certains toboggans font mal mais bon on a passé une bonne journée quand même”
Boat from Heraklion to Santorini with guided stops in Oia and Fira, optional volcano swim. Clear timing for a long day.
“It was like military precision....everything was as described in the plan details- what time to get tickets, where to get tickets, what times the boats left. beautiful trip and perfect in October...I can bet it would be a little chaotic and hot in summer months. my only criticism would be, that because we chose to do the volcano trip, there was literally 30 mins in Fira...and that was not enough.”
Full-day entry to Acqua Plus WaterPark near Heraklion, with optional hotel transfer, sunbeds and umbrella, plus 50+ slides and pools.
“Had a great day. Could do with more slides for two people”

Rethymno to Chania roundtrip transfer with 5 hours of free time to roam Old Town and the Venetian Harbour at your pace.
“Odotimme, että olisimme saaneet viipyä Haniassa kauemmin. Saimme sellaisen kuvan, että lähtö olisi hotellilta 8:30 aamulla ja paluu Haniasta 17:30. Mutta todelliset ajat olivatkin jotain muuta. Hotellilta haku oli 9:35 ja Haniasta paluu lähtö 16:10. Bussissa kaikki sujui hyvin. Kauppojen kiertely, ruokailu ja kiertelyaika jäi turhan lyhyeksi meidän makuun.”
Semi-private Crete wine and olive oil tour with hotel pickup, olive mill tastings, Peza wineries, and a four-course Archanes lunch with drinks.

A catamaran day trip from Crete to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa, with meals, drinks, snorkeling, SUP, and included transfer.
“Incredible day on board the catamaran where everything was perfectly organized: welcoming, professional and very attentive crew throughout the cruise. Comfortable and spacious boat, perfect for relaxing while sailing on a turquoise sea. The scenery was breathtaking, and the arrival in Balos from the sea gives a whole new dimension to this already beautiful place. There are several stops to swim in crystal clear waters, and a delicious meal was served. I recommend.Auto-translated”
Crete Acqua Plus water park day with transfer and lunch, 50+ slides, lazy river and sunbeds included. One-day trip.
“Transport was great. Driver was on time there and back. He informed us when we got there what time we would be returning (4pm in our case). The water park was great, there was a good mix of slides and activities to suit everyone. The meal, salad, drink and ice cream that were included were good with a variety of options. The amount of time in the park was good. We had the chance to try all the rides as well as go on our favourites a few time and splash around in the pool. Would recommend!”

“A lovely waterpark. Not too busy, even at peak summer, so the queues were not too big. Great staff and great slides. All very chilled. Food was great too.”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
