The beach was also incredible with clear blue water and reserved loungers, along with a very nice lunch right at the beachside restaurant. Definitely recommend this!!”

“Beautiful private boat experience. The captain Leveteras worked with us on our own personalized schedule. The boat itself Is nice for a small family. Speed was not bad and wind was ok. The captain for Balos - got close as possible so we didn’t need to swim that long to get onto that amazing beach. Worth every penny. Had a great time. Sincerely, Burn ICU and CRNA from NYC.”

“Excellente excursion... La prise en charge le matin a proximité de notre Hôtel est vraiment appréciable... horaire respecté. Notre guide très sympathique nous a bien expliqué le fonctionnement de la journée. Par contre il faut comprendre l'anglais aucune explication en Français !

Make sure to wear athletic shoes for the hike down and out. The view from the top is not to be missed and one you wouldn’t get from arriving by boat. We saw a number of tourists trying to do this by rental car and were so happy to have Andreas driving and dropping us off right at the entrancement . Definitely recommend for your time in Crete!”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
