Journeys
“Since it’s necessary to ‘do’ Crete, let’s do it well.”
Minoan palaces and Venetian guesthouses, lively cities and go-slow villages, awe-striking gorges and beaches that stretch for miles — Crete offers boundless possibilities. Beyond the coastal resorts and must-see sights, the Cretan heartland is a world apart, ruled by nature and tradition. As Lawrence Durrell said: “Very often a traveller in the lowlands will have the feeling he is crossing a continent rather than an island.”
Nobody can ‘do’ Crete in a single trip. Whether you have three days or three weeks, we’ll create a personalised itinerary with as much adventure, action, or relaxation as you please. As well as revealing the secrets behind classic monuments, our well-connected guides have unique access to experiences that most visitors never uncover — from country kitchens and cliff-hanging monasteries to archaeological excavations and ceramic studios.

DRIVE SAFE WITH US
Easy Riders,
Excellent Drivers
Crete is a huge and mountainous island. Getting around takes time and not a little bravado. Our services include a fleet of luxury vehicles, so that our guests can sit back and soak up the scenery. Don’t sweat trying to decipher bullet-ridden road signs or reverse down bumpy dirt roads — just enjoy the ride. For our team of unflappable drivers, navigating hair-raising hairpin bends and finding the key to a frescoed chapel are all in a day’s work

JOIN THE FESTIVE ATMOSPHERE
Celebrations &
Special Occasions
Cretans don’t need an excuse for a party. We love nothing better than grand gestures and impromptu celebrations. Over the years, our quietly efficient team has arranged destination weddings, pull-out-all-stops honeymoons, last-minute events, and private parties. We have the keys to exclusive properties that can accommodate 10 or 200 guests. We’ll arrange anything that floats your boat: lyre players, raki tastings, make-up artists or masseurs.
