"Wonderful afternoon with astounding views"
We loved our afternoon mountain tour. It was a cute little group of 5 of us everyone was lovely. Our guide was immensely knowledgeable, painted an excellent picture of Cretan life and informed us of the history. He was accommodating of different people's needs, polite and always willing to stop for photos. Pick up was perfectly on time. The views were amazing, particularly in the gorge and the lunch restaurant and honey were top quality. Would definitely recommend. Antama! (Claire C, Tripadvisor May 2026)
