A private full-day tour across Eastern Crete is offering visitors an immersive exploration of the region’s cultural traditions, coastal scenery, and historical landmarks. The curated itinerary connects agricultural heritage with some of the island’s most iconic seaside destinations.

Customer Reviews
Old mate at the front is a rude old man. We parked up fully intending to get a ticket but then just waffled on about his car park and his you can’t park there unless we got a ticket. Obviously mate. Time for retirement old man!
We went to buy tickets for the boat to Spinalonga here, as we have parked on the parking lot right next to it marked for customers of this company. We walked up and asked for 2 tickets, we asked some details and although the man did not convey some of the information very clearly, we understood enough. 1 ticket is 12€ and the man mentioned this price is "for the boat only" which makes sense of course, but he is indirectly pointing towards the fact that when you arrive on the island you still have to pay the 20€ entry per person. The man suggested that the boat leaves every 30 minutes, but in reality it felt more ad hoc, based on how many people are waiting. We waited for around 15 minutes for a boat in each direction, but the timing could be communicated a bit better.
There is no reception for phones so is possible you cannot pay by card, overpriced ticket for literally 5 minutes of navigation, personnel rude, the capitan of one of the boat saw us ready for boarding at Spinalonga terminal going back, totally ignore us, turn the boat without waiting, despite the boat being g empty and despite us waving, and left us waiting in the sun for another 45 minutes. Information non- existent, no timetable available on website.
