Review of a private Crete tour from Agios Nikolaos to Spinalonga, Lasithi Plateau, Krasi, olive oil tasting, and local tavernas.

“The day started early, but as soon as the tour started, we were in for a treat! Marinos, the tour guide, was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The first stop was an olive oil factory, where he explained how olive oil is made, and how much olive oil cretans consume! We were fascinated, and were given enough time to look around and enjoy the experience! During the tour, he bought us coffee and fruit, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time!

Review of Crete’s Spinalonga, Milatos Cave, olive oil tasting, mountain safari, speedboat ride, meal, price, guides, and practical tips.

“Well worth a trip to Spinalonga. A well thought out tour with guide Mickel, who was very knowledgeable about the area. Stopped off at great beauty spots for photos and little gems of local information. The speed boat trip to Spinalonga was well organised and we could spend as little or as long as we'd like there. The stop at olive oil factory was a great addition to the tour for some gift buying. All topped off with a fantastic meal at a traditional taverna. Being picked up and dropped off at hotel made sure you could relax and just enjoy the day stress free.”
