Pair up with our top local insider & journey along the golden expanse of West Crete in the comfort of a luxury chauffeured vehicle. Submerge into a bespoke adventure fueled by the shimmering authenticity of ancient villages, hospitable locals who live close to untouched nature, lavish gorges spilling their rivers into the sea & storied Byzantine Monasteries nestled among utopian wonders.

Tuck into the genuine flavors of our legendary forefathers. Unearth the archaic hamlet of King Agamemnon where water resources are pure, the temperature is ideal, & the local knowledge of food is an art. Prepare to be mesmerized by the delicious aromas of slow-grilled lamb & melt-in-mouth river fish placed around an open fire straight in front of you.

    We had an amazing trip with Tina and Stefanos. They treat you like family and let us customize the end of the trip a little so we could spend more time at a place we were very eager to see. The van is clean and Stefanos is a great driver and such a sweetheart. Tina is now practically family to us and we love her and couldn’t recommend this trip enough! Highly suggest this company to anyone visiting Crete.

    We had a very comfortable bus and a remarkably nice, educated and exciting guidebook, Nektarios, which was especially responsive to the questions and interests of the teenagers quite great. The tour went to a mountain lake, to the old town of Rethymno and to a mountain village, along the way there was typical Greek lunch. We were thrilled

    We were staying in Chania and wanted to explore the highlights near to our region. "Authentic West Crete Off-the-Beaten-Track & Venetian Rethymno Private Tour" was just a memorable experience for the whole family! Our private guide showed us amazing old villages, canyons, monasteries with interesting stories, and we met with friendly locals! Not to mention the Cretan lunch in a breathtaking place with lamp on fire and salt!!!! One of the most amazing tours we ever had. Thank you Crete! Thank you Snami team! We highly recommend!!!

    The trip was as expected: professional & excellent in sites, views, food & info. The driver, Alexander, told us the history of all the places we came through, with nice details on specific places. We enjoyed all the sites we visited, springs, small taverns, monasteries, view-points, restaurant & food, accompanied with an excellent conversation he adapted to our interests. Highly recommended!

  • Rethymno is a charming Venetian city with an indescribable atmosphere!
