Experience Crete personally, relaxed and off the beaten track. We are there for you during the whole tour as a couple : Jiannis drives, while Emma accompanies you and can fully dedicate herself to your questions and wishes.
Small groups, real encounters and carefully selected locations make this tour an authentic experience. Instead of a streamlined standard program, you can expect Cretan hospitality, regional stories, high-quality olive oil and a common traditional lunch.
