We spent 15 days in Crete in early September 2025 at Club Marmara Maravel Hotel **** in Adelianos 7 km from Rethymno. We have booked four excursions with the excursion agency Check in Creta whose point of sale is just 100 meters from the hotel to visit and discover remarkable Cretan places and landscapes.

The first must-see excursion is to visit the 2nd city of Crete CHANIA / CHANIA on Monday morning (3 hours free time) then the natural lake of KOURNAS in the afternoon (2 hours free time) Kévin an excellent French guide accompanied and advised us throughout the trip.

We took our excursions to Adelianos Kambos agency. We were received by Anny, a lovely French-speaking woman. We took all our excursions to her house. She is very good advice and always in a good mood. Honestly, if you have any excursions to make through it.

Gorge of St. Antony was quite impressive. This object deserves more time for viewing and walking as well than canyon deserves stops in more viewpoints
