We were staying in the centre of Chania, so travelling across Crete and seeing the wonderful inland scenery was great. And the driver, George, was amazing steering us around the windy gorge roads. We also enjoyed paddling at the edge of the water where the sand turns pink. But we were disappointed that there was no boat trip (which we thought there would be), and that basically it was a two hour journey each way, just to end up sitting on a crowded beach. Also felt the morning cafe chosen for a 30 min stop would have been unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues (we were fine), as it meant climbing up about 30 steep stone stairs. So overall, yes it was a good day out and a way to see inland Greece, but it was expensive and didn't meet our expectations.
