Highly recommend for a day in nature - I had the pleasure of going on a tour of Southern Crete with Constantin, his wife Anna, and their small rabbit Chocolate. The tour was jampacked with sites to see, places to explore and traditional Cretean food to try. We started at 8:30am and didn’t finish until after 5pm so it was a full day of activities. Constantin was very knowledgeable about Crete, especially about the agriculture of fruit and vegetables. He was able to point out several fruit trees and got out to pick some walnuts, herbs, cactus fruit and some wild Creek cherries for us to try. I tried traditional Greek food for lunch which was falafel and I was catered for being a vegan. He gave me avocado and honey which is a traditional Cretean treat and even gave me some delicious pomegranate which he had picked from his own garden. Constantine was very enthusiastic about taking photos and took lots of photos of me and Chocolate with the sites of Crete. Everything was included on this tour including lunch so there’s no extra fee fees on the day. I even got an hour and a half of my own personal time to explore Prevali Beach in which I was able to take some quiet contemplation and reflection on the day. We also visited a tiny village called Spili where I was able to try fresh drinking water straight from the mountain and buy some little handmade souvenirs. One of my favourite parts of the day was visiting a tiny little church that was built into the side of the gorge rock and also visiting several gorges which were stunning areas of natural beauty. The Tour was carefully crafted so I felt like I had experienced culture and nature and I felt very content by the end. I highly recommend anyone takes this tour if you’re visiting Crete. It’s really good value for what you get and Constantin is a good Tour Guide. I had a great day and if I ever return to Crete for a holiday, I would definitely book this Tour again. Thank you, Constantin, Anna and Chocolate for an amazing day.
