Full-day Land Rover safari from Heraklion: Cretan mountains, Zeus cave area, villages, cheesemaking and a big lunch with wine.

“George was an amazing guide and driver. He showed us the other Crete, far from the tourist spots along the coast. The coastal spots are justly proud of their beauty and history. The interior of Crete is a vision to behold. The topography is stunning. We got to meet a shepherd who makes goat cheese the traditional way; and we got to meet his goats. We saw a tree in Krasi frequented by writers like Niko Kazantzskis. And we got a history lesson on the struggles of the local inhabitants to simply live their lives. George was a wealth of knowledge on the various local views and customs when queried…”

“It’s really hard not to give these guys 5* as I can tell they make a huge effort and were super friendly. The perks were: the olive oil factory, the off roading and seeing the mountain goats, hidden beach, the drivers (we had a few but we really liked Nekatarious) Things to improve: I asked for vegan food prior to the booking, and was told this could be accommodated. There was nothing vegan so I ate nothing at the restaurant and wasn’t sure where my driver was to ask - so ended up without food for the day.

Tour started with a pick up from our hotel and we trekked through the mountains south of Maila through towns and villages learning about there way of life and history. So glad we decided to book, as we would have never done this on our own. Darryl our driver was very passionate , great knowledge about the local wildlife including a few sightings of birds, and about local plants which are used in our everyday ingredients. I felt we picked up tonnes of knowledge and turned everything we knew about crete on its head. thanks Darylnand…”

“The tour was lovely but our guide “Kosta” just made it fantastic. He was hilarious and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy with the experience. He kept us well fed and hydrated and kept the spirits up with lots of funny jokes. The sunset itself unfortunately wasn’t the best due to the weather conditions - but Kosta definitely made up for it. The evening ended with beautiful food in a traditional tavern and Greek dancing. Very wholesome evening and THANK YOU TO KOSTA!”
