Our trip to Greece couldn't have gone better. Beginning with the itinerary creation process, Christos was responsive, and flexible in adjusting the itinerary to meet our needs. We ultimately settled on an itinerary that was the ideal balance between beach time spent on spectacular beaches for the kids in Crete and awesome tours of the Acropolis and a Minoan Palace for the adults.

The execution by the operations team was fantastic as well. From well organized pick ups and drop offs, to the responsive support we received around rental cars, they made for a smooth experience that we all look for when we're out on vacation.

All of this made for a wonderful experience, and left us talking about future trips to Greece. Thanks for the experience, Christos and team!!!

Hotel Reviews
Kalimera Archanes Village
Archanes

Quaint hotel in a cute village, but probably not our cup of tea. Pros: * The owners are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was a feast! Cons: * It was a bit out of the way, since we were only in the area for 2 nights, probably would have prefered to stay in Heraklion. * The beds were very old, and not the most comfortable. * To have a hot water shower, you have to turn on the water heater a 30 mintues before the shower. While not a huge deal, not very helpful with kids.

Authenticity & Character
Very authentic old house in a small village. Good for a longer stay.

Nice family room, with a separate area for the kids, and some sitting space. There is a small roof terrace with a view of the Acropolis. My only downside is that it is a bit too far from the main areas, and we would have to walk quite a bit to get to the center of town.

Was a fun way for kids to see the Acropolis. But was so, so hot, that it was difficult to really enjoy (no fault of the guide).

Guide was really entertaining for the kids, and try many different ways to draw the kids into this tour. Initially I thought it would be too much for my young kids (6 & 8 years old), but in the end, they really enjoyed this, and understood a bit more about Greek stories and legends.
