Crete


The largest island of Greece, Crete claims to be the first European civilization made by the Minoan era on Crete from 3000-1400 BC, which was at its peak of prosperity from 2000-1500 BC when the famously recreated palaces at Knossos were built.
Crete's main industry, easily overshadowing traditional agriculture, is tourism, predominantly of the package variety. However, by going a little off the beaten track and into the rugged splendour of the White Mountains, we escape the vast majority of the holidaymakers to meet the tough mountain people, with whom we share a lively discussion on our way.
Our guided tours are mainly focused in the area of west Crete, starting from the picturesque town of Chania, touring around traditional mountain villages and hiking in the areas beautiful gorges and south coast paths along the Libyan sea.
For the independent traveler we offer more flexible tailor made packages, ranging from accommodation proposals in luxurious spas, traditional settlements or style hotels to short duration outdoor activities.
Transportation to Crete
There are many charter flights arriving directly to the island. For Western Crete you should fly to Chania Airport. If you come to Greece via Athens, you can either fly to Chania (1 hour) or go by ferry boat. There are daily ferries from Piraeus to Chania (7 hours). We will be happy to assist you with any travel arrangements to/from Chania.
