Cosa scrivono i nostri ospiti

“We had a wonderful food tasting experience in Crete with Way to Crete. The tour focused on two of the island’s most important local products: honey and olive oil. We tasted three different varieties of Cretan honey — carob, pine and thyme honey — and it was fascinating to discover how different their aromas and flavours were. We also had the opportunity to taste Koroneiki olive oil through a food pairing experience, trying it with different local foods and learning how to appreciate its flavour, aroma and characteristics. Ernesto was our guide and made the experience very interesting, relaxed and enjoyable. He shared a lot of knowledge about Cretan traditions, olive oil production and local gastronomy. A fantastic experience for anyone who wants to discover the authentic flavours of Crete beyond the usual tourist attractions.”

“Ernest is a nice, respectful and lovely driver. We had a great time there in Crete and could easily travel to other places thanks to him. Pick up times were easy to organize. He even brought us water every time. I would definetly recommend him to others!”

“Die South Crete Highlights Tour mit Way to Crete war ein wunderschöner Tag und definitiv eines der Highlights unseres Kreta-Urlaubs. Wir haben das beeindruckende Kourtaliotiko-Schlucht, das historische Kloster von Preveli und den berühmten Preveli Beach besucht. Die Landschaft im Süden Kretas war unglaublich schön und die gesamte Tour war sehr gut organisiert. Unser Fahrer war freundlich, professionell und hat uns viele interessante Informationen über die Region gegeben. Eine perfekte Möglichkeit, den authentischen Süden Kretas abseits der üblichen Touristenrouten kennenzulernen. Absolute Empfehlung für eine private Tour ab Rethymno!”

Is Rethymno Worth Visiting?

Yes. Rethymno is worth visiting, and the specific reason is that it is the only city in Crete that gives you three things at once: an intact Venetian and Ottoman old town you can walk end to end in fifteen minutes, a long sandy beach that starts where the old harbour ends, and a position halfway along the island that puts Knossos, Samaria, Elafonisi, Spinalonga, Preveli and the White Mountains all within a day's drive of the same hotel. It is smaller and quieter than Chania, cheaper than either Chania or Heraklion, and - because the University of Crete's humanities campus is here - it stays a working city out of season rather than closing down. The case against it is that it has no airport, its beachfront hotel strip is generic, and its old town is noisy in August.

Rethymno or Chania: Which Should You Base Yourself In?

Choose Chania for a short trip built around the most beautiful harbour in Crete and the beaches and gorges of the far west; choose Rethymno for a longer stay, a sandy beach that starts where the old town ends, lower prices, quieter evenings, and a central position that puts both halves of the island within a day's drive. Chania's old town is larger and more spectacular but also far busier and more expensive, and its own town beach is small, so beach days mean driving 40 to 75 kilometres. Rethymno's old town is smaller and more lived-in, with a stronger Ottoman layer, and its beach runs about 12 kilometres east from the harbour. If you have three days, go to Chania. If you have a week and a car, base in Rethymno and drive to Chania for a day.

Samaria or Imbros? Choosing Between Crete's Two Best-Known Gorges

Choose Samaria if you want the landmark and can commit a full twelve-hour day to 16 kilometres of continuous descent from 1,250 metres to the sea, ending at a village reachable only by boat. Choose Imbros if you want the same limestone-corridor scenery in 8 kilometres and 2 to 3 hours of easy downhill walking, with a vehicle waiting at the end, no ferry timetable to catch, and the option of going in any month of the year. Samaria is open only from 1 May to 31 October and is the busiest hiking route in Greece; Imbros runs year-round and carries a fraction of the traffic. For most visitors - families, anyone with knees, anyone who only has half a day - Imbros is the better hike. Samaria is worth it if the length is the point.

Da dove partono i tour?+

La maggior parte include il ritiro in hotel in tutta la zona di Rethymno, all'orario che confermiamo il giorno prima. I tour a piedi e la gita in barca si incontrano in città — inviamo il pin esatto con la conferma.

Quanto sono grandi i gruppi?+

I tour via terra vanno in minivan climatizzato con massimo 8 ospiti, e la maggior parte delle prenotazioni diventa privata. La gita in barca accoglie fino a 19 persone.

Qual è la politica di cancellazione?+

Cancellazione gratuita con rimborso completo fino a 48 ore prima del ritiro su ogni tour con prezzo. Entro le 48 ore cerchiamo sempre di spostare la data invece di addebitarvi.

Si paga al momento della prenotazione?+

No. Inviate una richiesta con data e numero di persone, e confermiamo prima la disponibilità. I dettagli di pagamento arrivano quando la giornata è bloccata — su questo sito non si addebita nulla.

In quale aeroporto arrivare per Rethymno?+

La Canea (CHQ) e Heraklion (HER) distano entrambe circa un'ora da Rethymno, vanno bene entrambi. Facciamo transfer privati da tutti e due.

I prezzi cambiano con la dimensione del gruppo?+

In diversi tour, sì. La gola di Imbros per esempio è 44 € a persona in un van pieno di 8, e sale a 145 € a persona per una coppia, perché van e guida costano uguale in ogni caso.
