The perfect start to a holiday in Crete - We flew in late on a Wednesday and were worried that this tour would be too much for us on the first day of our holiday. How wrong we were. Akrivi our guide was charming, thorough, funny and engaging. The tour remedied our woeful knowledge of local history and filled our bellies with excellent food and coffee along the way. Each of of our stops introduced us to charming and helpful local business owners only too happy to take the time to talk to us and let us know about their history while providing us with exquisite examples of the Cretan specialities. Particular points of interest are βουργιαλι a local shop, the Veneris Bakery and of course Akrivi our guide who welcomed us to Crete so splendidly.
