The Best Tour I Have Ever Taken
This tour was by far the best I have ever taken. Stavros is an exceptional guide who provided an amazing and varied experience for our small group. His energy and enthusiasm kept us entertained and laughing all day, while still imparting a trove of information about the history, mythology, and agriculture of the region. Stavros led us on experiences that only a local person knowledgeable and passionate about his region could provide. We saw the architecture/history/mythology that we all came to see, but also walked through tiny traditional villages, drank coffee in a picturesque hidden village square in the mountains, learned about native plants, ate fruit fresh picked directly from the source in a local farm, and ate a delicious lunch at a true "farm to table" family restaurant in the agricultural mountain plateau. We ended with a tour of an olive oil factory run by the same family for generations. I highly recommend this tour with Stavros; it was so much more than I was expecting.

Great sailing experience
Wonderful trip to the island. Marissa and Niko were amazing to watch set sails and sail the boat. Food was very good. Only slight negatives were too many boat's in the small bay and not many fish. Suggestion: put a different color small flag near the ladder to help swimmers without glasses identify which of the several boats anchored in the bay is the one they are on.

Private Luxury Sailing Trips to Dia Island

Unbelievable day!
We had such an amazing time onboard with Ilias and Nikki. The sailing trip was unbelievable, from start to finish. We booked a private 4 1/2 hour afternoon trip and were welcomed warmly onboard. The boat was spacious and felt very safe for us and our children. Drinks were available throughout the trip.After sailing over to Dia, we jumped and swam in the sea, snorkelled and tried some fishing. We could paddle board and snorkel, with masks and flippers provided.We had an excellent lunch prepared onboard which was very tasty and fresh.We had time for some more swimming and fun after lunch, and then set sail back to Heraklion during sunset which was magical.Ilias and Nikki were incredibly knowledgeable and were lovely hosts, to both us and our children, both clearly enjoying their jobs onboard. They were amazing to spend time with even letting our kids have a go at steering the yacht, which will be a memory they treasure forever.Thanks once again for an amazing experience!

Warmth, Culture, Food and Drink on a Scenic Bicycle Ride
If you want to experience life in Crete, including authentic food and drink and lived history, this is the tour for you! Manolis has deep roots in Crete and makes you feel like you are part of his family. During golden hour, Manolis led us to an ancient Orthodox monastery with colorful history and murals. After walking and driving in Athens and other islands, it was so refreshing to just get on a bike and breathe in the fresh country air while bathing in views of olive tree orchards, green fields and ancient stones. As we followed the winding road through three villages, we met many people of all ages and the many cute dogs and cats enjoying the evening. Everyone was so friendly and we exchanged greetings of "Yiassas!" wherever we went.This was the perfect tour for our family of four, with two girls ages 22 and 19. Manolis made all of us feel comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and works as an accountant by day - this is a labor of love he does in memory of his father. Manolis has worked in Italy in Parma - a major force in the food culture of Italy - and shared his comparisons between the grappa of Italy and the Cretan liqueur we shared during our meal in a village taverna hosted by a wonderful couple.Come prepared to have a fantastic cultural adventure and experience the warmth of the people of Crete!

Lovely private half day trip to Dia
The 4 of us went on a private half day trip in the morning (aprox. 09:30 -14:00 hrs).We met Denis and Elias, the crew, at the port of Heraklion.Travel time to the island took about 1hr each way. The island itself is uninhabited and a protected national park area.We got to a nice little bay where we stayed for 2/2.5 hrs. Seems this is the main hotspot for sailing trips as there were many other boats there, but it is full season in mid August. Here you can snorkel around in its crystal clear waters, paddle-board (SUP) or a quick visit to the island (little church, fisherman’s hut).The crew prepared a plentiful and delicious snack for us, which we ha pre-ordered separately (greek salad, sandwiches and an enormous bowl of fresh sliced fruit).Kids had a go at fishing and then a last splash in the sea before making our way back.We didn’t do much sailing as the wind was not in favour, but can’t do much about that.The staff were extremely courteous and friendly for the whole trip and pampered after us throughout the whole trip! Thankyou Denis and Elias!!

This was possibly the best excursion we have ever done. With ~25 counties and hundreds of tours, I think this was the most fun I’ve ever had. If you do one thing in Crete, do this!
