Heraklion City Centre with Aquarium - The trip itself was good, with time to spend at the aquarium, and at Heraklion City Centre including the market. The tour guides were good and knowledgeable. The only annoyance was at the end. We were staying at Arina Beach Hotel and was picked up from just outside the hotel. On the way back, however, we were dropped about a 25 minute walk away from the hotel, with no real instructions other than they said Arina Beach get off here. We got off thinking that someone would take us back to our hotel, as I am sure that they said that someone will take you back, but no one was there. It wasn't bad for us as we are all fit and healthy even with a 5 year old, so we did the 25 min walk back feeling a bit confused. Other than that, not a bad tour.
