Overview
Crete is an island destination that never fails to remind us of what we love about the Greek island culture. It’s an irresistible combination of al-fresco tavernas, breathtaking archaeological sites, bright blue waters, and unspoiled authentic Cretan lifestyle. Enjoy an authentic day trip with a premium chauffeured vehicle at your full-day disposal and maximum comfort like a true VIP. Visiting Matala and its ancient Roman caves in the afternoon is the best timing to experience a memorable melting sunset scenery and a relaxed guided walk in the authentic village of Matala, which is known for its unique style and freshly-caught delicious seafood. Your private local insider guide will enrich your private tour by following South-Central Crete itineraries off-the-beaten-track. You will also explore traditional villages, the ancient Homeric town of Gortyna, Phaistos Minoan Palace, a mountainous Byzantine Monastery, and a local winery. In addition, you will enjoy an authentic Cretan lunch!
