Enjoy a personal hotel, villa or cruise pick-up with a premium vehicle at full-day disposal, at any defined time of the day. Your private tour will start with a journey to the West Crete by following itineraries off the beaten path.
The first stop will be at the Venetian city of Rethymno to follow a scenic city trail through Rethymno's streets. Your local insider guide will make you familiar with the history of Rethymno by guiding you along the narrow streets, where you will see the medieval port, temples, and city highlights.
Then you will visit the authentic village of Agryroupolis which is built on the ruins of the ancient city of Lappa. There you can enjoy a cup of coffee under the shade of the ancient plane trees surrounded by lush green, many refreshing springs, and mountainous small waterfalls. Not to mention that you will get acquainted with friendly locals by deeply connecting with the meaning of Cretan “philoxenia” (hospitality).
The next stop will be at the lake of Kournas, where you will have time to experience amazing nature and bathe in the freshwaters. Furthermore, your private expert guide will provide you with the best recommendations for a delicious Cretan lunch with a unique home-made wine tasting by the lake.
Also, you will visit the city of Chania where you will get familiar with the city and its history as well as the local lifestyle. Last but not least, your private guide will take you through the old street markets of the 17th & 19th century where you will have the opportunity for the finest local product tastings!
