Chania at sunset with a sommelier-led wine tasting, raki nightcap, sheep-milk ice cream, and a 3-course organic dinner.
“OMG what a wonderful experience this was. Our guide Adonis, was theatrical, informative and very knowledgeable about Cretan history. The small group setting was a perfect way to feel attended to and pampered. The tour gave us a wonderful way to wonder through less travelled roads/alleyways that lay adjacent to the more touristy areas. And the food was fresh, inventive and delicious! Ending the tour with an island sunset punctuated the evening in the most delightful way. I recommend everyone who comes to Chania do this tour.”

“We had an incredible paddleboarding experience yesterday, thanks to our amazing guide, Socrates. As a beginner, I was a bit nervous, but his friendly demeanor and expert training made me feel confident within the first 10 minutes. By the end of the session, I felt like a pro! The sunset was absolutely breathtaking, and Socrates knew all the best spots to enjoy it. I highly recommend booking with him for an unforgettable adventure. He patiently taught us the basics and shared fascinating insights about the area, making the whole experience both educational and fun. A birthday to remember!!! 🎉 We have great pictures and videos. Can’t wait to do it…”

“We had an amazing day on this tour with Yannis. He is an excellent guide that is very accommodating and easygoing. I really enjoyed horseback riding as it was my first time ever on a horse. The horses were beautiful and friendly. We stopped for coffee at a local coffee shop after riding and it was some of the best coffee I’ve had. Next, Yannis took us to Falassarna beach to enjoy the most beautiful sunset. It’s such a romantic place, we witnessed a proposal! We enjoyed some wine and fruits on the beach.
