Three out of three great experiences - We so enjoyed our four days on Crete, and a major reason was that we had three days of guides from Uncharted East Crete — Andreas, Alexander, and Grethi (I know I am misspelling…). They were all so knowledgeable, and so thoughtful, and genuinely fun. We wanted to learn, and they were great teachers. We learned history, geology, philosophy, botany, and how Cretans look at life. They were a revelation, each in their own way.

Wonderful day in Eastern Crete - We were privileged to have a full-day private tour of the eastern side of Crete with our Snami tour guide Nikolas Nikolas created an enchanting day for us as we meandered through the mountainous terrain in his Mercedes minibus. He provided us with historical insights on the evolution of civilization, culture, and religion concrete. We visited the charming monasteryKrrmasyon. There, Nikolas shared the importance of monasteries in the orthodox religion throughout Cretan history. He provided insights about how monasteries were used, not only for religious purposes, but also as part of Greek rebellions and hosting secret schools during times when adversarial occupiers did not support education of children. We visited a small village where we had some time to shop. (bring euros… Some local merchants do not take credit cards). Then, Nikolas brought us to some of the highest points on the east side of the island where we enjoyed amazing vistas. The views were truly breathtaking. Nikolas brought us to a wonderful family run taverna in a remote village where we shared scrumptious traditional Greek foods for lunch. While the olive oil factory was closed (it was Sunday) we were still able to learn a lot about olive oil production because Nikolas and his dad are olive tree farmers. Nikolas shared his personal insights on the importance of olive oil production to the island of Crete. He also explained all of the techniques for harvesting, pressing and bottling the oil. On the way back to our hotel, we even got to dip our toes in the Libyan sea! It was a wonderful adventure, and Nikolas added so much depth to our understanding of the local culture and the history of the wonderful island of Crete. If you take this tour, and you should, please ask for Nikolas!
