The crew and tour leader were fantastic. There were many stops along the way for swimming. The history learned and walking through the many historic towns was illuminating.
The lower cabin is very very spacious and quiet.
This Greece Islands sailing adventure was so memorable! It exceeded all of our expectations, every day sailing to explore a different island and experience local culture and food as well as gain knowledge about the history and culture of the region. Our skipper CEO Mack was highly knowledgeable about the region and very passionate about sailing as well as sharing his knowledge and providing opportunities for each of us to learn and experience it for ourselves. Our only recommendation is for G Adventures to include more information about the need to pay in cash at restaurants and establishments in the Greek islands (Euros). We thought we would be using our credit card for dinners but learned we really needed to have cash instead.

This trip was fast paced, very active and jam packed but stunningly beautiful! I am not sure what i was expecting from Crete but it wasn't this, this was even better! We got to swim in crystal clear waters, hike the famous Samaria Gorge, as well as visit archaeological sites, it had a bit of everything.

The holiday was brilliant from the seamless transfer to the hotel to the amazing experiences we had along the way. Zep our tour guide was wonderful. She organised everything and was such fun to be with. The hotel was clean, quiet, had a good swimming pool and provided a lovely breakfast. There was plenty the kids would eat too like cereal, fruit, bread and jam. If you like being in, on or around the water this holiday is for you. Every day there is the opportunity for swimming in crystal clear waters. This was our first family Explore holiday and we look forward to doing many more.

Our visit to Crete was definitely our Top 3 Hiking Tours (Mt Blanc and Portugal are runners up). The people are wonderful the food amazing. Fantastic routes and weather .
Everyone in the Explore office was knowledgeable and helpful - they went above and beyond to give details of the trip and discuss its suitability and logistics. And a great bonus - the phone was answered quickly without endless waiting.
I had been apprehensive about my ability to walk quite so far for the full 6 days, but it was perfectly paced and plenty of time for coffee and lunch stops. The scenery was varied and the villages delightful.
The highlight of the trip was having our guide, Spiros, who spoke great English, was passionate about his island and the trail, hugely knowledgable about the local flora and fauna, and on top of all that, funny and kind and intent on ensuring that everyone had a great time.

Perfect mix of cycling, culture and cuisine. It was a nice group of people.
Tour leader, Paul was very friendly and knowledgable about culture and history.
Most accommodation had pools - so plenty of opportunities to relax.
The afternoon with our own private boat was great fun, and so were the mudbaths and hammam.
Hills most days, but scenic descents and great views - always the option of the backup vehicle, if needed a break.
