How to fall in love with Chania in one evening.... - We explored Chania on the Bohemian Sunset Tour with Adonis and it was incredible! Adonis took us through enchanting sections of the Port Town of Chania, away from the main tourist-filled streets. We explored hidden courtyard gardens, local restaurants and taverns, drank delicious cocktails, and arrived at a secret spot to watch the breath-taking sunset over the Venetian Old Port. He did such an amazing job of showing us around, that we visited the location again the next day on our own, making us feel like locals!
An exciting bonus was the mini-movie he shot of our group exploring some of the local streets to create a real-life perspective of what we were experiencing.
He accompanied us to a gourmet dinner with wine pairings and helped translate along the way.
Adonis guided us to parts of Chania that he clearly treasured and was personally proud to share with visitors. It was a magical evening!

So Happy in Chania - On a girl's trip, we did this tour on our first evening in Chania, Crete with our guide, Adonis. It was a great way to get a sense of the city, its history, and recommendations for the rest of our stay. Adonis was very knowledgeable and FUN! We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, great meal, wine, and raki. The sunset was amazing. Mostly, Adonis made us feel like we made a friend in Chania. We spent the rest of our time in Greece wishing we were back in Chania. I highly recommend this experience, Adonis, and Rebecca at Grecian Lux.

Grecian Lux: the ONLY way you will want to do Greece!! - Rebecca with Grecian Lux planned the most amazing trip for us to Greece. We visited Athens, Crete, and Santorini over 10 days. We spent a day and a half in Athens, 3 days in Crete, 3 in Santorini, and another day in Athens before flying home.
She arranged every little detail for us from domestic flights, transportation, hotels, tours, and more! She was highly responsive and gave me great advice during planning and in preparation for our trip. She definitely helped me stay on budget and never tried to over sell us. You could tell when we checked in at our various villas and hotels that the people there know her well and she has a great reputation. There was even an app that documented our entire itinerary, gave tips on Greece in general and each for city, suggested restaurants and other things for us to do while there. It was incredibly helpful to use while there to keep us on track. She even had our first tour guide help me set up WhatsApp so that I could communicate with her at any time throughout the trip.
The tour guides that she uses are top notch. They are energetic, personable, experts in their area, and very professional. You can tell that they love their jobs! The villas and hotels were those that I never could have found on my own and if I did, it would have been only after hours and hours that I do not have. She was such a time saver! The only thing I booked myself was our international flight.
We did an array of tours in Athens that helped us get to know the city and it’s different villages, the Acropolis, the best food and drinks Athens has to offer. Our tours in Crete gave us a glimpse of the mountain villages, countryside, and of course the port area. In Santorini we did a tour that included the entire island….food, wine, history, and all of the best photo spots!
I highly recommend working with Rebecca at Grecian Lux! We will definitely use her again for our next trip to Greece.

Excellent dinner and tour - Adonis was fun, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He took us to places he wanted to show us and also took us to places we asked to see.
I had requested a low carb, high protein dinner. We went to Boheme and the dinner was excellent. We wanted a local draft beer and he found it for us.
