“Excellent day trip , our guide Michael was really helpful. would have liked a bit more time in Rethimo and the lake, as they were both beautiful places.”
Rethymno to Samaria Gorge: a challenging 18 km hike to Agia Roumeli, with breakfast, multilingual guide, and ferry back.
“Good. Pia was awesome, she kept a lookout for us. We were slow because I don’t like people following closely behind me so I kept letting them pass. We were stiff for days!”
Half-day quad safari from Rethymno with hotel pickup, guided off-road rides, shallow water crossings, mountain views, coffee stops, and snacks.
“Great scenic routes, with a good mixture of off roading, asphalt driving (at high speeds), shallow river driving. Would definitely say this has been the best activity in the island so far.”
Hike Europe’s longest gorge from Omalos to Agia Roumeli, pass the Iron Gates, then swim and ferry along Crete’s south coast.
“The Trip for good and even better with the help of our guide Nikos , who helped us every step of the way as it was our first trekking experience. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good adventure and experience to remember for life !!!!!”

“It was an amazing trip on the road you are astonished by majestic secenery , and the beach itself is like another world is merging with ours. Our tour guide and bus driver did an amazing job”
A 4WD Crete safari from Rethymno to Preveli palms and beach, with gorge stops, the Spili fountain, and lunch with unlimited wine.
“Although the weather was not the best for the first couple of hours of this tour, it was good to be able to see some of the Cretan hinterland. There were some great views and, unlike some other tours, the driver actually stopped at vantage points so you could take photos. We stopped at some little village that really had nothing going for it, but it did give those who wanted to the opportunity to visit a loo. A stop at a larger village gave us the opportunity to get a decent coffee, look in the shops, and see some of the sites - the main one being a fountain…”

“We had a great experience! The waters were a bit rough the day we went out, but the crew was so friendly and constantly made sure everyone was okay and was doing well. The crew obviously can't control the weather, but they were so friendly and attentive, and we still had a great experience seeing Rethymno from the water and watching the sunset. Thank you so much to the entire Dan Eri crew for a great time!”

Barb and Costas were so welcoming for our 2nd participation after Elafonissi Beach and we were so glad we joined the tour again! Highly recommend:) Thank you Markidis Travel! Satoko and Paul”
Guided Imbros Gorge hike from Rethymno/Chania to Chora Sfakion, with pickup, cliffs, and a Libyan Sea swim.
“Imbros is suitable for most people, the terrain is rocky but nothing too serious. It went downhill all the way but the descent was smooth, didn't affect the knees. There's one dry "squatting" toilet half way through+ a little place to buy some refreshments. There's no natural water places as in Samaria. The trip was very well organized, all the information was clear from the get-go and you'll learn some interesting facts about Greece along the way (on the bus ride, in the gorge you walk alone and the guide is the last one). We could leave bags on the bus, that was great as I didn't have to take…”
