A definitive appreciation of the country’s natural treasures
Located at the southernmost tip of the Mediterranean and a crossroads of three continents, Crete has been the top travel destination in recent years for many reasons.
The most important of these is the combination of countless contrasts that are created in its interior, a combination of culture, history and rare natural beauty.
Crete knows how to combine absolutely harmoniously the simplicity of local tradition with the luxury of modern tourism, being a source of endless inspiration.
The photos failed to describe reality.
In the capital of the Minoan civilization.
The Palace of Knossos is the archaeological jewel of Crete and has been at the top of the list of preferences throughout the years of Crete's tourist history. As you visit the Palace of Knossos, you travel to the depths of European history. The oldest civilization in Europe awaits you to explore and become a part of it, the legends of King Minos and the Minotaur and the works of art of the palace continue to inspire awe to this day. In the continuation of our excursion we will take a short break to meet a serious chapter of Cretan gastronomy.
A place full of rich cultural treasures.
Do not forget that you are in the place where the greatest revolutions against the conquerors over the ages were organized and implemented. Arkadi is the most important heritage of the island, the struggles of the Monastery against the conquerors have been an inspiration. The sacrifice of the people who lived and died there has generated strong emotional impact and has become an example.
In the arms of the Libyan sea.
As in every famous tourist destination, so in Crete the usual landscape consists of large, luxurious hotel units and busy illuminated streets. You will not encounter any of this on the southern side of the island, which to this day has maintained its natural beauty despite the rapid tourist development. Wild gorges, crystal clear waters, deserted beaches and picturesque villages compose a picture of rare beauty. On our way to the southern coastline we came across the Kourtaliotiko Gorge.
Αmong the mountain paths of the glorious Mylopotamos.

Life here still keeps the traditions and customs of our ancestors and this is something that will never change. This has kept the island free and proud and the Cretans would not trade this for anything.Life here still keeps the traditions and customs of our ancestors and this is something that will never change.
Slip softly into the magnificence of Crete.
We begin our ascent to the oldest and most historic mountain of Crete. Let's start in reverse, Diktaean Andron is one of the most important caves in Europe and at the same time a historical and cultural treasure for the Cretans and this is because Rhea entrusted the upbringing of Zeus to the Diktaean Curetes, chased by Kronos.
Explore the essence of coastal elegance.
The alternative Crete. The luxurious and impeccable culture of modern tourism amidst the crystal-clear blue-green waters of Mirabello Bay. An investment flood has made Elounda in recent years walk the steps of rapid development with luxury units and modern villas dressed in the colors of natural stone. Somewhere hidden in the embrace of the bay, the island of Spinalonga.
It smells like Crete.
Always respecting the time and days of your stay on the island, we try in all our excursions to combine the most important elements of our place. Our goal is for our visitors, even with a private excursion, to get a complete taste of Crete with doses of history, culture and gastronomy.
Rethymno city tour - With the marks of the conquerors.
In all the cities of Crete, the architecture that the visitor will encounter is the same. In the center of the old city, the Venetian city, and on its perimeter, the new modern city with its suburbs. This scenery could not change in our beloved Rethymno. Rethymno keeps the signs of the conquerors intact and in its interior it holds well-hidden cultural treasures of many years. A strategic port in the center of the island with easy access and unique uniqueness was a burning desire of the conquerors over the years.
Between the sea and the mountain, the traditional and the touristic.
Lake Kournas is the only natural freshwater lake and is located in a magnificent landscape, between the western slopes of the White Mountains and the fertile plain of Georgioupolis. The lake and its surroundings constitute a very important ecosystem for Greece, as this corner of the Apokoronas province is one of the few areas of Crete where there is abundant fresh water throughout the year.
Chania city tour - Τhe most picturesque narrow streets of Crete.
Over the years, you have become the burning desire of the conquered, since the Gulf of Souda is still the most strategic point in the Mediterranean. Venetians, Ottomans and Germans are the peoples who carved the deepest scars on the historical face of the island in different eras, each one. And yet these scars or otherwise the marks of the conquerors are protected and highlighted by the Cretans as an integral part of their history, something they are truly proud of.
