The road to Tera Creta was well sign posted as our satnav had issues identifying the roads as they seemed newer than Google and our current TomTom, so we followed the signs! We advise to do the same. The facility is stunning and had enough...MoreI am glad for your positive experience and thank you for the comments I wish in your next visit to be able to taste more excellent labels of Terra Creta extraordinary products Emmanouil

We were staying in Kolymbari, and decided to walk to the winery. We didn't know whether the tour and tasting was exclusive to coach trips etc, so were very pleased to get the opportunity to experience both! 6 wines tasted, bread, cheese and olives provided...MoreWe are pleased to have happy visitors to our winery. We try our best to offer quality wines and services. Hope to see you once more to our estate.

Eva Cruises

Reviewed By Oliver S

You will see parts of Crete that you can not get to by motor car. There are some historical sites, caves and clear water that provides excellent snorkelling conditions! The tour guide is brilliant he makes the trip both for couples who want to capture the moment (on camera) but he (Phil) was also great with the kids.
Yes the snorkelling equipment is basic but some perspective is needed. 4 hours and 20 Euros... drinks can be purchased on the boat for a reasonable amount. This is an excellent value trip - said like a true Yorkshireman!
My wife and I are on honeymoon we enjoyed the stunning scenery, crystal clear water and romantic hidden Beaches. We may even book again - 5 stars given to reflect all round service, value and fun!

Never thinking of going to a soap making factory, we found ourselves ( as part of a group ) standing in a small building with the essence of lavender fennel, and other fragrances, that are grown outside there front door. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, this family business makes and sells soap and skin care products made from olive oil.
The olive oil has long been used to give you skin youth.
The tour is not long, as it was part of a group, it may be off the beaten path, but stop by if you can. The people of Crete are lovely and they treat you like family,

Orthodox Academy Of Crete

Reviewed By Thoolen - Afrata

I have organised several meetings here over the years and my experience is fully positive. The setting is marvelous and conducive to reflection while the practical facilities are up to standard. The rooms are comfortable, the food simple but good. And all-in the prices are very decent for groups (don't know the maximum but there must be over 90 beds in double rooms). The small village of Kolymbari is 8 mn walk and offers more choices for food. Not a place for normal tourists.

Memorial Greek Cadets Battle of Crete

Reviewed By OrangeViking - Boras, Sweden

War memorial for Greek cadets that resist German invasion of Crete in 1941.
Having a father who was a soldier in WW II, I always visit war memorials when I have a chance. Tis one on Crete near Kolymbari is on a very remote location on top of the mountain overseeing the bay of Kolymbari. For me those monuments remember me of my father who through his life was haunted by his war experiences. It also tells me that we have learned nothing looking at the world today.
