We had a wonderful day with Kostas. We visited a factory for olive oil and then traveled to a Monastery for a wine and olive tasting. Our tasting guide, Katerina was fantastic. The Monastery grounds were beautiful.
Kostas was friendly, informative and a great driver.
We highly recommend this.

Antonis (a.k.a. Adonis) really organized the the tour perfectly given that we only had about 5 hours to sightsee before our cruise ship disembarked. We never felt rushed and got back to the ship with plenty of time. The private wine tasting at Agia Triada Monastery was an amazing experience and the owner had very generous pours, even letting us sample some raki. My twin babies were cranky so the owner kindly offered some cookies, which they loved, made by the monks just like the wine.
I had really wanted to see the oldest Olive tree in the world which was on this island, but Adonis recommended walking around the Old Port instead since it would take 2 hours round trip alone to see the tree. I'm glad we took he advice because we enjoyed walking the cute streets with their shops, enjoying some, coffee, pastries, and fresh local Greek figs and oranges from a grocery store before heading back to the ship. With more time, I'd gladly tour Chania and other parts of Crete with Adonis again.
