Overview

For this excursion, you will be picked up from your hotel area by our airconditioned bus. The first stop is at the Spili village. You will have a chance to see a 100% traditional village with its well know lion-head fountains in the middle of the village. Walking along its cobbled streets you can explore the tourist shops which are full of traditional Cretan products. The next stop is at the amphitheatrically built village of AgiaGalini. Here will have 2 hrs to explore the village. The next stop is at Matala where you will have 3 hr of free time to enjoy the golden sandy beach. Matala is not only known for its beautiful beaches but also for its artificially carved caves that date all the way back to the Minoan period. These same caves were later occupied by a hippy commune in the late 60’s and 70’s. Many musicians have composed song about the beauty of Matala including Bob Dylan and Cat Stevens. The bus will then take you back to your hotel ending this amazing excursion.

We really appreciated this trip with our guide Andreas and the driver Yanis. Everything was well organised and well explained, and Andreas has a good sense of humor. We had other trips with another agency but nothing to compare to Markidis Travel. Thanks a lot !!! We will Travel with you again if WE come back

Great Trip, Great guys

Had very interesting day trip with Kostas and Andreas, Both entertaining guys. Really enjoyed our day out, we were mainly interested in the caves at Matala, but we enjoyed the other 2 stops. Andreas was very informative, funny and intesting. When we were waiting for the pick up, we saw the bus drive by and shortly afterwards Kostas appeared to let us know we were waiting for others to arrive before he brought the bus back to us, which was kind of him. Would definately use them again, everything very good from the girl booking us in to the drop off back at the hotel. Bus very clean and tidy. Noticed Kostas cleaning while waiting for us all to return.

The best travel agency on Rethmymno

I made 3 trips with hem as guide but booked also a trip to Santori at Markidis Travel. The people that sell the trips know exactly what they are talking about. The small groups are great, and they are arlways on time at the hotel to pick you up. The people like Kostas, Barbara and Nektarios, who were guiding you through the tour explain allot, and tell you where to go to see some special places where other tourists don't come and really take care of you. Also the drivers as in Pedros and again Kostas have some challenges on the Cretan roads, but smoothly they drive on them. All in all is that if I go again to Crete I surely will book some other tours here. Great service. Thank you all for a very nice time on Crete.
