Start with a coffee under the, centuries-old, plane trees at the picturesque village of Spili. Then, driving through the Kourtaliotiko gorge you can enjoy the incredible view, get a close look of the waterfall and even dip your feet in the cool water. Next is the Preveli Monastery which dates back to the 10th century. The monastery is associated with the struggles for Crete’s independence and, more recently, the WWII when the allies used it as a gateway to the Middle East. If you are in a mood for a swim, the next stop is definitely the village of Plakias. Next is the city of Rethimno which has an intriguing mixture of Venetian and Ottoman architecture and buildings with well-preserved elements of that.

Kostas was a wonderful guide who helped us tailor our experience to accommodate my Dad's limited mobility but still get to see so much of Crete. The van we took was very comfortable, he was a good driver, and his honey was delicious! He also accommodated our later schedule so that he could drop us off at the Ferry.

Our tour guide, Kostos, made our full day tour fun and full of adventure. An amazing 10 hour excursion of West Crete. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Crete. From Spili, hiking the Kourtaliotiko gorge, the amazing history at the Monastery of Preveli, the wonderful countryside, and a stop at the popular beach of Paligremnos with a final stop at Rethymno for shopping and dinner.
An all around unforgettable day, we will be back, see you again Kostos.
