Reviews: Heraklion Archaeological Museum Ticket & Audio Guide
Guest User2025-10-25
The guided tour of Knossos with Akrivi was excellent! Although it was in English, she explained everything I had to know in Greek, very polite and knowledgeable. The place is beautiful with a lot of history and mythology.
Reviews: Heraklion: Food Tastings Walking Tour
Guest User2025-10-30
Thank you to our lovely and very friendly guide, Eva – she is absolutely wonderful! This 4-hour walking food tour through Heraklion was full of great stops: coffee, sweets, olives, feta and cheese, bread, wine, raki, and lots of delicious meze. We finished the tour full, happy, a little tipsy, and completely in love with Heraklion, Eva, and the whole experience. Highly recommended – thank you very much!
Reviews: Day Trip to Agios Nikolaos and Spinalonga Island
Guest User2024-10-06
We done this trip on 3rd October with Altino Travel Services. A short journey from Hersonissos to our first stop at the coastal city of Agios Nikolaos. We visited a few souvenir shops on route to view the lake from above. Then walked down to the harbour and finished off with the statue of Zeus. AN is much less touristy than Heraklion and Chania and a real treasure. Then a short drive up to the small village of Elounda for some lunch before the boat journey over to Spinalonga Island. Our Lady Guide (didn't get her name) was fantastic, gave great insight to the places visited and the Island of Crete in general. She spoke perfect English and French and was great fun. Spinalonga Island is a must visit for those interested in culture and history. We first done the boat around the island then disembarked for 1.5 hours to explore. You can easily walk around the base of the island in a hour. It is a little bit hilly in places but nothing too difficult. For those who want to see the upper part of the island and take in the best views you need to take a lot of steps or slopes so need to be quite fit. On the way back to Elounda, some of the group were able to take a swim around the boat in the shallow and clear waters. We then headed back late afternoon. The trip was around 9 hours overall and great value.
Reviews: Heraklion: Cretan Cooking Lesson with Lunch in Arolithos
Guest User2025-10-03
My sister and I booked this cooking class about 20 minutes from Heraklion, and it was a highlight of our trip! We started with a museum tour, followed by a visit to replica homes showing how different social classes once lived in Crete. The class was hands-on and well-paced. We began by preparing appetizers like dakos salad, tzatziki, dolmades, and stuffed tomatoes and peppers, then took a relaxing break with wine, cheese, and snacks. Afterward, we made lamb with beans, pork with peppers, and cheese pastries, and learned how to make Greek coffee. The small group made it feel personal, and our instructor was warm and knowledgeable. We enjoyed everything on a beautiful terrace, and received a certificate and recipe packet to take home. I’ve already made the recipes three times—they’re that good and that easy. Some only use four ingredients! A great way to bring the Mediterranean diet back home.
Reviews: Private Tour-Knossos Palace Zeus Cave Olive Oil Mill & Wine
Guest User2024-10-11
This was surely the most interesting and unique excursion we did in Crete! Spyros was an amazing driver and guide, showing us off-the-beaten path scenery in the Lasithi Plateau and nearby small mountain towns. We picked and enjoyed fresh strawberries, drank delicious wine and so much more, in addition to visiting the Palace of Knossos. Highly recommend!
