Overview

What sets this tour apart is its soul—not just the stops, but the why behind them. In just one carefully crafted day, you get a full bite of Crete: its sacred flavours, its living crafts, its wine-soaked hospitality, and its ancient myths. We don’t rush. We don’t overpack. We do it the old Cretan way—slow, generous, and real.

You’ll taste olive oil from groves where the trees are older than some civilisations. You’ll meet a potter whose hands remember secrets passed down for generations. You’ll drink wines born from volcanic soil and eat a village lunch the way locals do on a Sunday. And finally, you’ll walk in the footsteps of kings and legends at Knossos.

No staged folklore, no touristy fluff—just the Crete we love, shared with you the way it was always meant to be: with heart, time, and good company.
