A Perfect Off-Season Adventure

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an unforgettable day with Leonidas, even with the cloudy weather. Balos Beach was absolutely breathtaking, and while we didn’t stay as long as we’d hoped due to the conditions, Leonidas went above and beyond to ensure the rest of our day was just as enjoyable. He filled the time with other fantastic activities, showcasing his expertise and thoughtfulness. We are so grateful for this incredible tour and cannot recommend it highly enough!

Perfect Off-Season Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Sakis picked us up from our apartment, and even in the off-season, he made the tour feel special with his friendly personality. We enjoyed hearing about Crete as we were driving through the peaceful olive groves and natural scenery. Balos was stunning, and Falasarna Beach was calm and relaxing. Plenty of time to unwind and enjoy the quiet surroundings. Highly recommend this tour—perfect even in the off-season! Thank you!

Memorable Experience in Chania

This tour was amazing!!!

Published on Nov, 2024

My trip was truly unforgettable. Sakis, our guide, was friendly, humorous, and very well-informed. The tour surpassed my expectations, even with the heavy rain we experienced at Balos lagoon. To top off an already fantastic day, my partner and I enjoyed the most delicious meal of our entire vacation. The restaurant was stunning!

A Flexible and Unforgettable Tour to Balos and Falasarna

Published on Oct, 2024

I recently took an off-season tour to Balos Lagoon and Falasarna Beach, and despite the less-than-ideal weather, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The tour was surprisingly flexible, which made it stand out. In addition to the breathtaking views of Balos and the unspoiled beauty of Falasarna, our driver went above and beyond by taking us to a historic monastery and a fascinating cave, offering a more immersive experience. The smaller crowds made the trip even more special, and the driver’s professionalism and knowledge ensured that we had a tailored, enjoyable day. If you’re visiting Crete in the off-season and looking for a mix of natural beauty, cultural exploration, and flexibility, this tour is a great choice.
