Fabulous Experience- You Won't Regret It! - Wonderful tour and service! Sakis was so friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed getting to know him and his story. Of course the beaches were stunning, but he also took us to a few great spots along the way that we wouldn't have otherwise found and that we really enjoyed. For example, he took us to a restaurant that was very special and beautiful (and had options for us vegans).
We are very happy we did this tour- it was fantastic and I highly recommend it!

Unforgettable tour and sites!!! - Had an amazing time with Sakis! The tour was a perfect blend of laughter, interesting information, beautiful experiences, and even more laughter. The sights we saw were breathtaking, especially Balos, and lunch at Gramvousa restaurant was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Falasarna Beach was stunning as well. I would highly recommend this tour!

Private Balos Lagoon and Falassarna Tour - Our private day trip to Balos Lagoon and Falassarna was a last minute booking which we were glad that we made the right choice for a private tour.
Our Tour started with our great tour guide that picked us up and instantly made us feel welcomed, comfortable and provided great information on our itinerary for the day ahead.
Balos Lagoon being our first stop, we made our way up the mountain by SUV and once arriving to the top started to make our way down to the lagoon by foot.
As we reached the views from the top of the mountain points the views were absolutely breathtaking.
Keep in mind if choosing to walk down the mountain track from the car park area be well prepared with comfortable enclosed walking shoes and water.
It can take between 25-40 mins depending on your personal fitness to get to the bottom of the lagoon area, but well worth it.
The photos you take from the photo points are worth every step to get there.
The next stop was our lunch stop, the choice of restaurant which is part of the trip was definitely one of the best restaurants we had visited so far from our trip to other Greek Islands.
After our lunch we headed to Falassarna Beach which was also a beautiful beach with crystal clear waters.
We had a few extra stops by our guide throughout the day which was also great as a private tour, we then began to head back to our hotel which was also a pleasant relaxing drive back taking in other beautiful views along the way.

Stunning Views and Delicious Cuisine - This tour was fantastic! Sakis picked us up right near our Airbnb, making it super convenient. We started with a quick stop at Balos for some incredible photos, and then made our way to the beach, which was absolutely stunning. The lunch was incredible—definitely one of the best meals I had in Crete. I highly recommend taking this tour!
