Magical day in Crete - The places we visited were beautiful, the views breathtaking, and the atmosphere truly special. From the old monastery frozen in time and the friendly locals in charming villages and olive groves to enjoying delicious food and drinks by the sea, every moment was unforgettable. Our host had plenty of surprises, making the day absolutely incredible!

A superb discovery! - The weather was perfect to discover the wonders of Crete. We were able to visit a charming traditional Greek village to enjoy a good Greek coffee, it was like going back in time. We met farmers harvesting olives in a picturesque olive grove, it was an unforgettable experience. Our host, George, exceeded all our expectations — we couldn’t have dreamed better. I highly recommend it

Summer memories into winter - We had a wonderful time exploring the elegant side of Crete, including the renowned Spinalonga and picturesque Agios Nikolaos. We gained fascinating insights into olive oil production and savored some truly exceptional varieties. The charming villages, the monastery, and the historic Spinalonga created lasting memories that keep us warm through the winter. We were incredibly fortunate to have Yorgos, a dedicated professional, as our host. The next day, we asked him to share another one of his favorite sides of the island with us.

A Day of Timeless Charm and Beauty - Our second trip with George was nothing short of extraordinary. Having experienced an olive press on our first journey, George adjusted the itinerary in ways that left us absolutely enchanted. Driving through charming villages felt like stepping back in time, especially as we witnessed the timeless art of preparing rusk bread—a tradition filled with warmth. At Areti Monastery, the peaceful atmosphere embraced us completely. The winding roads led to stunning views of Elounda Bay, with its tiny island glimmering like a hidden gem. After a stroll through Plaka, we sailed to Spinalonga, where George’s storytelling brought the island’s moving history to life. The day ended in Agios Nikolaos, enjoying a delicious lunch at a soulful lakeside tavern. George’s expertise turned this trip into an unforgettable journey through Crete’s beauty and culture—an experience we’ll treasure forever!
