I always try to do a HoHo bus tour when visiting a new city as it’s a great way to get your bearings & an overview of the culture & history.
There are 2 tours available, red & blue. The red tour is around the city centre & a great way to get to the palace at Knossos. Some interesting commentary, but could have said much more. There were long periods of silence which could have been filled. Instead, when the commentary restarted it repeated earlier info.
The blue tour was completely pointless as it is just a shuttle service to hotels in Amourouda. Whilst on a hot day it would have been a good way to get to the beach, it would be much easier / cheaper / quicker to hop on public transport. Heard earlier info from the red route another 2 times so could nearly quote word for word by the end!!!
Not always easy to find some of the stops & if I hadn’t found the timetable online, I’d have really struggled to coordinate the buses.
