Preveli and Kourtaliotiko

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour to Preveli was a dream. The journey started with Kourtaliotiko’s dramatic cliffs, where the breeze carried the sound of hidden waterfalls. It was wild, rugged, and full of awe. Preveli Beach was the perfect contrast—peaceful, with its emerald river winding through swaying palms. Our guide was entertaining and added just the right touch of humor to keep things lively. The mix of natural beauty, serene waters, and fascinating stories made this tour unforgettable. A perfect escape into Crete’s hidden gems.

Nice day trip

Published on Oct, 2024

Our driver was on time. He was polite and professional. He allowed us enough time to explore at each stop. We enjoyed our day. Please note, this is not a tour, so the driver is not a tour guide. He is there to transport you to the destinations, not necessarily give you history, etc. He will try his best to answer any questions you may have.

Perfect day !
