A PLEASANT SURPRISE - Immersed in nature in Vitorchiano we found this local style refuge, very comfortable, clean, tidy with a fair price. Maximum availability of owners. Quiet place amidst olive groves with a swimming pool to relax after a day visiting the historical places in the area.

Awesome day in Crete! - We had such a fun time on this tour! Helen was a very kind and caring guide and she made our day really special. We drove to the countryside, experienced a small town in Crete including a cafe with drinks. We then went to a very peaceful spot for a Greek picnic. We tried ham, cheese, bread with olive oil, fresh tomatoes, and local olives. We then went to the top of the mountain that had a small church and some amazing views! We highly recommend this tour and our guide Helen.
