Knossos was very interesting

Too much lost time in picking up and dropping people off. Would like more options for a meal

We visited this place with family and had mixed impressions. The location and views are absolutely amazing, and we especially loved the shop with locally made products and the opportunity to see how they are created—it’s a unique experience worth having. On the other hand, we were concerned about the condition of some animals. Rabbits had no hay and almost no space to move, and we noticed horses and donkeys without visible shade or water, except for a few trees. What makes this even more disappointing is that the land around the property would easily allow for larger enclosures and better conditions. I do recommend visiting for the scenery and local products, but I also truly hope the owners will use the available space to improve animal care—adding hay, shade, water, and more room to move. After all, no one would want to be kept in such small cages without the basics

Lovely surroundings with options ranging from a quick coffee to wholesome meals. Professional and fast service. A traditional ceramic workshop on site with a souvenir shop. Will definitely go back next time I am in the area.

Fabulous full day tour including the Mobastery of Kera, Lasithi Plateau, Greek Mythology Park (added as a replacement for the Cave of Zeus which was closed due to flooding), Knossos Pakace as well as great sightseeing, time for lunch and shopping. Our guide Maria was great. Only thing that needs improving - pickup point at Square 18 had no landmark or labelling and was very difficult to find and we nearly missed our coach as a result. Got lost and so grateful another tour guide company helped us by phoning the company. the Location needs to be more specific (eg. Outside a major landmark) with tour guide company signage/flag etc as other companies do. Otherwise a great day.

The transfer I paid extra for was a 20 minute walk from my hotel up a steep hill. I wouldn’t mind but the main point to get on the bus was the same distance. The places we visited were amazing and I especially loved the mythological park. Was gutted Zeus’s cave was closed but everything else was exactly as described. The tour guide was lovely and engaging and the group size was not too big/small.

ツアーのスケジュールは良かった。 イラクリオン出発の場合はホテルまで送ってくれないのですが，ガイドの方はどこで解散するのか等詳細を言わなかったので，バスで途中まで行くと思い乗ったら，あなたたちはlocal busで帰るんだよってそこで言われた！ もう少ししっかり説明して，バス停の位置も教えてくれればいいのにと思いました。

Nothing much to see here. If you've gotten this deep into Crete already, then you have doubtless driven by many other tavernas, textile shops, pottery studios, and other more genuine finer places. This is the classic "tourist trap," although I wouldn't say any of their prices are exorbitant. I do not think the "church" here is real since there is no altar. It looks like they just built a structure in the shape of a church and put some icons in there. If you have little children, it would probably be worth it to stop and have them meet the animals. But again, if you have stayed in any of the numerous villages on the island, you have already encountered plenty of farm animals such as goats, chickens, sheep, etc.

We were just visiting Crete when we came across this place. We didn’t stay for the night, but visited everything and bought a couple a of things from the shop. It was amazing, and so pretty ! Everything you can buy is made there ( ceramics, creams, wine… ). Also everyone was super kind, and explaining everything in English ! If you’re near, I would 100% recommend going !! You won’t regret it ! Thanks again !

Great trip and tour to visit for a day (or two). You can sleep here as well, as they provide cozy apparments near the farm, with a view over the village. The owner is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable. We had breakfast here with all own ingredients. Very special! Was a very unique breakfast! (See photo). For a very reasonable price as well. Then you have some traditional workshops like a pottery (where you can make your own pots). Can recommend! Very cool and interesting to do.
