We really had a great tour with Chris who knew all the secret spots as a true local. He was very friendly and also helped with other local tips. We would never have found all the narrow beautiful streets on our own and it was so fun on the Segway!

Our guide was great as we scheduled easy pick up and drop off locations. Each winery had a different feel as they were located in different parts of southern Santorini. Tour was finished off with Venetsanos winery which was located in the cliffs overlooking the caldera. We would recommend.

The crew is very friendly and we visited the prettiest beaches on our trip. We booked the 11 meter rib boat and were 5 people including the skipper. The boat has everything you want including a small fridge if you want to bring some drinks and enough space to lie down and tan during the trip. We also brought our speargun with us and the skipper stopped on some good spots where we could go for a couple dives. Definitely a must do when you go to Chania and I’m really looking forward to the next time!

Somewhere between heaven & earth, there is a Cretan beach paradise sculpted by nature over ancient times. On some days, this geological masterpiece is connected to the coastline of South-West Crete, and on others, it is an island you can easily wade to through a shallow sea corridor. Imagine yourself basking in crystal blue waters of the intermingled Cretan & Libyan Seas. With your toes sinking in the fine white sand that is blissfully blended with flecks of pink from millions of crushed shells as the fresh sea-breeze touches your cheeks leaving salt crystals in its wake. There are many ways to appreciate Elafonisi, but none quite as rewarding as a tailored & stress-free escape for the discerning travelers who pursue experiences at their own pace. On the road trip across West Crete rely on our top local insider to immerse in a true adventure by the comfort of a luxury chauffeured vehicle. This is your relaxation rhythm. Take things slower, breathe deep & luxuriate in your freedom
