If you want to get away from the crowded beaches and see Crete’s wilder side, book this tour! We were so glad we did — Nikos took all the stress out of planning by driving us to places we’d never have found on our own.
We started in the charming village of Kritsa — beautiful old houses, tiny streets, and lovely local shops. Then we headed up to Katharo Plateau — the views up there are amazing, with mountains, goats, and endless olive groves. We stopped for photos whenever we wanted, and Nikos knew the best spots.
The Selakano forest was a surprise — so green and peaceful, perfect for a short walk. And the Sarakina Gorge was the highlight for us — dramatic rocks and a fun, easy walk through the gorge (bring sturdy shoes!).
Having Nikos as our guide made the day so much better. He’s friendly, knows so much about the island, and shares cool stories you won’t read online.
A few quick tips: Bring water, wear comfy shoes, and charge your phone — you’ll take tons of photos.
If you want to see Crete off the beaten track without the headache of planning, this is the tour. Thanks, Nikos — we’d do it again in a heartbeat!
