Highlight of our trip to Greece! - We just returned from a week in Greece, a few days in Athens and a few days in Crete, and our tour with Crete Wanderer was unanimously our family’s favorite part of the trip. We had a full day minivan tour with Sakis and his son Jordan. They were so well informed and kept us engaged with local information and history during our drive. Importantly they struck a perfect balance of talking and giving us space and time to be silent and rest or just take in the views. They customized the tour to our preferences and time, starting with a few stops to see local features and history while driving to Elafonisi Beach. After spending a few hours swimming there with the kids, it was easy messaging Sakis to pick us up. We then made another stop to a small more private beach called White Lake (wish we hadn’t changed the kids out of their swimsuits so they could have swam there a bit) before making additional stops at historic sites, with a lunch break at a beautiful restaurant situated underneath a big chestnut tree at the foot of an old monastery. We finished off with a climb up 257 steps to the Cave of Agia Sofia, which was magical, definitely a highlight. We were so glad to have selected Crete Wanderer for our time in Crete, we’d definitely go with them again if and when we’re back!

Fabulous day trip in Crete!!! - This was a phenomenal trip! Our driver was wonderful and informative, stopping to show us things, took us to a “secret” beach that we enjoyed even more than Elafonisi. We had a great time at the cave and had the most wonderful lunch in a nearby village. Would definitely recommend!

Elafonisi is stunning in the offseason - We had an absolutely wonderful time today! Leonidas was our guide, and he was incredibly friendly and communicated exceptionally well.

A tour that exceeded all expectations! - This was one of the most enjoyable tours we experienced in Greece! Our guide was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable, making the entire experience unforgettable. Although the weather turned out to be overcast, it didn’t detract from the tour at all—our guide’s deep understanding of Crete and Greek history more than compensated. We highly recommend this tour!
