"Fantastic" *****
Skip the group tours, leave your rental car at your hotel and ask Joseph to accompany you on a private tour to these great spots on Crete. We did "Mystic & Rustic Crete" and "Birth of Europe". If you are a first- time visitor he will suggest an itinerary and if you have special requests he will include those. Without Joseph we would not have known about the local culture or the history of the area nor would we have met and chatted with the local people (like that elderly man who has been making phyllo at his bakery for 70 years!). We enjoyed our tour so much that we scheduled a third one. Read more Contact us: info@secretsofcrete.com
