Our first stop will be a visit to Chania, Crete’s second largest city into the old town within the venetian city walls which is an attractive maze of narrow streets, old mansions and arcades, with mosques and minarets bearing witness to the turkish influence and the carefully laid out new town which is considered to be one of the most beautiful towns in Greece.
The lake of Kournas lies in a valley, in a beautiful area between the hills and the surrounding mountains and is reminiscent of a lake in the Alps. Here you can enjoy your lunch, walk around the lake.
Our last stop will be a short visit to Rethymnon. Shop for antiques and knick-knacks in the narrow street of the old town, to graze up at the turkish minarets and to stroll along the Venetian port down to the fortress and along the golden sandy beach stretching into the distance. You’ll never believe one island could have such contrasting sights and colors.

I have sent a separate email, the voucher said they were picking us up at Sisi Bay Hotel & Spa, the time on the voucher said 09.00, we had no communication saying anything else. We were waiting at 9am , coach did not turn up. We called and were told we were meant to be there at 7am. We are extremely disappointed, why put on the voucher 09.00? When that isn’t the time to be collected. We want a full refund.

I want to start by saying that the tour itself was an enjoyable experience. Our tour guide, Joy, was friendly, helpful and informative and it was lovely getting to see the sights of Crete (Chania and lunch at Lake Kournas were our personal highlights).
.. However, our entire experience was devastated by the shuttle bus driver from Sparrow who collected us from our hotel (Aldemar Royal Mare). Essentially, when we went to enter the shuttle bus we tried to enter using the wrong door (the back passenger door rather than the front passenger door), at this point he proceeded to shout and swear at us in Greek, not knowing that we are, in fact, fluent in Greek. When we calmly told him that we understood what he had said and the slurs he had used towards us (which I will not repeat here) he became even more enraged and started driving recklessly and dangerously. He continued to swear at us until we arrived at the tour bus. He was completely unhinged, used appalling and offensive language towards us and drove so dangerously that we were both terrified at points. Despite how great the tour team were, I'd urge anyone staying in the Anissaras/Hersonissos region to AVOID THIS TOUR and others by this company as this individual is truly dangerous.

Chania old town was the best for us. Beautiful cafes and shops up the narrow streets. The view of Kournas lake was amazing with the mountains in the background. The only difficult thing was the length of the day and journey back. We were picked up 7.40 and returned 9.30. Be prepared for a long day but great experience . The guide joy was very friendly and had so much information about crete. We learnt quite a lot.
