This is a private tour with a 7-seater van for a maximum 6 guests (price is for 6 persons). Explore the battlefields and memorials where the first airborne-only attack in history took place. The Battle of Crete is unique because it's the first attack in history prepared and performed exclusively by airborne units! It was a man to man battle where belligerents had little support from their far-flung bases. In this tour we will give a detailed account of the battle of Crete regarding equipment, units, strengths and weaknesses, defence and attack positions, the course of battle and various stories! We can focus on specific units, nationalities or any interest you might have and customize the tour. We will visit the main battle locations in western Crete at Maleme and Galatas, two Cemeteries, an amazing collection of artifacts from the battle and a couple of Memorials. Bring a 10GB USB stick to load some reports, books, diaries, maps and photos of the Battle of Crete!

This was such an amazing tour! I’m so glad we went. I’ll be honest, we went because my dad is a WW2 buff and it was mainly for him. But even for myself and the rest of my family, this was deeply engaging and profoundly moving. We learned a lot about the history of Crete, and got to see so many small villages (and a bakery!) we would never have been able to see without our amazing tour guide, who was knowledgeable and friendly! We also saw a massive private collection of artifacts that was a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks again!
