Highlights were the visit to the traditional shepherd's hut ( via an off-road track !!), splendid vistas, frequent sightings of nimble goats and soaring eagles, and the traditional Cretan lunch. Louise's knowledge of local customs and stories greatly enhanced the journey. The drive back through the scenic Therisso gorge was a lovely conclusion to the day This tour is a great opportunity to delve deeper into Cretan life and was one of our holiday highlights.”

Pour le repas la brochette de poulet était excellente, la salade était bonne mais un peu simple pour le prix de la prestation, et il m’a manqué un dessert enfin fin de repas. Temps magnifique. Navigation agréable.”
