We were so thrilled with the tour provided by Christine and Thanos! Not only did we learn a lot, but it also allowed us to see much more of the western side of Crete than we would have on our own. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, and they were very punctual.
The tour company provided mats, umbrellas, a meal, and drinks for our trip. (They are not allowed to drive to the beach, so you do set them up yourself and there is a bit of a walk). We were so grateful for the cold drinks throughout the warm day. I truly felt that they thought of everything to make the excursion as convenient and easy as possible.
At Elafonisi beach, our first stop, we spent the whole time in the water. However, next time, at Falasarna, I would plan to pay the extra money to purchase a sunbed at the beach since it was quite hot in the afternoon.
At Falsarna, other beachgoers had quite a long walk or had to wait for a trolley, but the tour company was allowed to drive down to pick us up, which was a huge plus.
We also enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere of the olive oil tasting.
I definitely recommend a tour with this company, especially with Christine and Thanos! It was a great day.
