This tour was an absolute dream! We were picked up by bus, since we were one of the first, we had quite the longest ride. After everyone was on the bus, our tour guide told us a bit about the area where we were. Very interesting. Our first stop was in Agios Nikolaos, a great town especially the small streets. The time of about 1.5 hours was enough for us. Then it was on to Elounda. Here, too, we had about 1.5 hours to eat. So it was a bit tight, but it was enough to see a little bit of the place beforehand. Then I took the boat to the island of Spinalonga. Again, our tour guide informed us about the islands. We were able to explore the island ourselves (entrance was the only thing not included). On the way back we stopped by the sea and were able to jump into the sea. That was one of the best things I've done in my life! Absolute heartfelt recommendation!

Great day out! Michael, our tour guide, was brilliant and knew a lot about the local areas. As it was the national Independence Day of Greece , we had our schedule moved around a little so we were able to experience the parades that were happening - a really lovely consideration for the team to have made! Our pick up was very smooth and the bus journey was a beautiful route that allowed us to see the Cretan scenery. Elounda and Agios Nikolaos are stunning places and definitely worth a visit!! We had a good amount of free time in each place - the best part, jumping off our boat into the sea on our way back from Spinalonga Island! Bucket list check! Highly recommend this day out to everyone!

Great day. Very well organised by Altino travel. Very efficient with booking, pick up etc. Elena was friendly and efficient, a good guide throughout the day. Even drove us personally back to our hotel as we were travelling from Cretan Village. Loved Spinalonga…. So much history there( especially if you’ve read The Island!). Only thing to improve… maybe give the history and info of Spinalonga on the coach before boat trip as we couldn’t hear what Elena was saying above the wind and the noise of the boat. But overall, a great day and would highly recommend this company!!!

Very nice trip. They picked me up in a van very close to my hotel because the streets were very narrow. Recommended!

Brilliant day out, lots to see and enough of time to explore each stop.
