Beautiful nature trip. - The trip was nice. Beautiful stops. Good information from the guide. Enough time at every stop. Best stop was Kournas lake. Beautiful! One fotostop at the George was cancelled because of the hard wind. The only negative thing is that I thought that I had read that the trip would be done with a max of 15 people. That's why I chose this company. But this was a bus full. May be over 60 people. So that was disappointing. Ofcourse there is a possibility that I did not read right. :(

Good tour with potential for improvement. - Good tour, gives you an overview of the countryside and culture of Crete Island. Lunch break, however, is too long, and recommended restaurant did not quite come up to expectations. Guide spoke good English and German and gave good information.

Don't go there. - Nice place but too many people. Very rude staff especially those who rent pedalos. Price 10 euros for one hour. We are told that the waiting time is 10 maximum 15 minutes. After an hour and 20 we get on the pedal boat. This is because other people in line with us left given the wait of over two hours. The very banal needle. No big deal. Coming from Italy I assure you that we have much better. That said, I only recommend it to take some pictures. Not a shadow of the turtles as there are so many boats and pedal boats that stop attached to Riva to see them that clearly do not come out. Rather than spend a day here go to some beach. Not recommended.
