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

Oh dear.
Been on many of these type of excursions on holidays- this was not one of the better ones. the destinations on this tour are all lovely so nothing wrong there. However the guide was absolutely useless- completely dis-interested and the commentary was pretty much non existent. Coach passed through stunning scenery and villages - guide did not utter a word about any of it. When there was a commentary it was only about the price of olives. As visitors we need to hear about the Cretian way of life in the places we pass through and maybe some history - none of that was provided. Coach passed through a stunning gorge just before we got to Plakias village- did not offer to stop for 5 minutes for photos despite there being a parking spot large enough for a coach to pull into. Very disappointing- could have been so much better with an interested and engaged guide.
