Beauty and Fun of Crete
Greece
|
Jun 5 - Jun 18, 2025
We loved our entire trip to Greece from Athens to Delphi to Meteora to Corinth to Naxos to Santorini to Chiana. However, our stay on Crete was the best. Yannis, our guide/sous chef, for our cooking experience was funny, informative, and helpful. The food we cooked was tasty and filling. We ran into Yannis the next day and it was like running into an old friend. We also had a great time with George - our guide for our River Trekking experience. He knew all the great places to stop along the way, went at our pace and offered various options for splitting up due to various thrill seeking levels. Hiking in the river was fun even in the cold water. The views from our final wine tasting/olive oil tasting experience were incredible. Sitting in the mountains and marveling at their beauty and majesty was the perfect way to end a relaxing trip.
Activity Reviews
The river trekking hike was another highlight of our trip. It was quite challenging but incredibly rewarding. We swam upstream to see stunning waterfalls and then hiked down the river towards the ocean, all while hiking directly in the river. It was a fun and unique adventure, even though the water was a bit chilly. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but a must-try experience!
Thank you so much, Helen, for your wonderful review! It sounds like you made the absolute most of your journey through Greece, and I’m thrilled to hear Crete stood out as a favorite. 🇬🇷🕊️ I love that you ran into Yannis the next day— how serendipitous! George’s river trek adventure and your final mountaintop tasting experience also sound unforgettable — the perfect blend of nature, flavor, and fun. Thank you again for sharing your experience and I hope we can help you plan another amazing kimkim adventure soon! ✨
