Uncover the real Crete with this special experience that takes you deep into the heart of the island's culture and heritage. Our journey is an immersive adventure that lets you see Crete from an insider's perspective, something that you won't easily find elsewhere. We start by visiting the Aposelemis Dam, then we head to Panagia Kera Monastery to learn about its history and art. The Windmills of Lassithi Plateau show you a different side of the island, and the Cave of Zeus takes you to a place of myth and legend.

The 2,400-year-old Platanus Tree in Krassi connects you to nature's ancient beauty, and the Omiaia Olive Press offers a taste of Crete's culinary heritage. We finish the journey with a visit to the Palace of Knossos, the largest Minoan site. We've chosen each stop carefully, offering you a chance to dive into history, culture, nature, and local food. It's this mix of unique locations, insider knowledge, and genuine connections that make our adventure stand out from the rest.

Great experience in Kotor! We really enjoyed viewing the sights on the island and checking the windmills and olive press. Lunch spot was an excellent choice! It was nice experience although I would have liked to have seen the palace.

Know this is mostly a driving tour to the different sites. They do not go into Knossos and explain the ancient sight. Our guide gave us basic information about Crete but I would have liked to know more history and cultures. Combined with other couples for a discount so that was nice.
Great Tour

This is a great tour. Leonidas, our driver and host, was very informative and entertaining. Our favorite stops were the olive press company where we saw how olives are picked and processed for their oil and the lunch stop high in the mountains. The monastery was also very beautiful with all of its religious icons and the Palace of Knossos was fascinating. Be aware that the Cave of Zeus is closed for repairs for the next two years and is no longer a stop. All in all, this is a great tour to acquaint yourself with Heraklion and eastern Crete.
Historical and Beautiful!

Zeus' cave is a great experience. Good shoes are a must as you will climb up to the entrance and then down to the cave. Very cool cave! Beautiful Day. We enjoyed every moment. Very interesting. Highly recommend this tour.
