Customer Reviews
I was missed by the transfer at the airport. The accommodation a mixed bag. The Route Leader was quiet but capable. The walking was challenging (can't imagine doing it in much higher temperatures). The Greeks/Cretans were, by and large, wonderful.
A Really good trip. Weather was bad at the start of the trip and we missed one of the walks. Itinerary had to be changed around our Guide Smaro was great and looked after everyone. Crete was amazing and food was piled high, A salad could be a main meal at the size of it. A great Holiday with a good group.
