Through this route we will be captivated by the dream sunset at an altitude of 700 meters and enjoying the sun setting into the Cretan Sea, visiting traditional villages, enjoying local tastes, enchanting the view and ending up with beautiful destinations
Our first stop in Agios Nikolaos, where we will have 50 minutes of free time to admire its amazing beauties or to shop from its beautiful market
Then we head to the fishing village of Plaka and we will be enchanted by the view of Spinalonga.
Arriving at Plaka we will have free time of about 20 minutes, which will give us the opportunity to enjoy and photograph the historic island of Spinalonga
Then we climb to the traditional village of Vrouchas and climb to an altitude of about 700 meters where from the highest point of the area we will have the chance to see the amazing sunset with the sun set late in the Cretan Sea and create beautiful shades on the horizon. It's really a dream thing to see

This was one of the best tours I've ever had in all my travels. Alexandros was magnificent as tour guide, driver and teller of stories. He was prompt, professional and polite. He took us to an olive oil factory where he knew everyone, the small towns we visited were quaint and unique. He is a VERY skilled driver as well getting to the top of the island for an awesome sunset with music and photos. Then to top it off the dinner was magnificent, at this family-owned restaurant where the food was excellent, and the hosts were better! My wife and I could not have asked for a better excursion.

A brilliant experience all round. Iaonnis was a great guide - friendly, knowledgeable, but most of all a skilled driver as he took a group of 8 of us up some genuinely scary roads into the mountains. He mixed fact, anecdote and conversation really well. We stopped off in a small village to taste olive oil, honey and raki, before climbing to 1200 meters for some vulture-spotting and of course, an inspiring sunset (with prosecco!) We descended to the Lasithi Plateau for a really good meal at a taverna, with plenty of choice of well-presented and tasty food. It really was an unforgettable evening - we are a hard-to-please bunch but we all agreed it was the highlight of our trip.

Brilliant!
We were dubious about going ahead as we had booked the sunset trip and it was clearly going to be a cloudy evening but we were so glad we did!
Lovely run through the Cretan countryside with the charismatic, knowledgeable Alexandre at the helm. Nothing was too much trouble and no question too stupid as he expertly explained the history of the region. His passion for the local flaura and fauna of the beautiful area was contagious and by the end of the trip we wanted to move to the island ourselves!
Delicious raki on the mountainside to keep us warm and a traditional meal with wine in a local taverna to complete the experience was the icing on the cake!
Thoroughly recommend!

My mom and I were so glad to go on this trip. First of all, our guide Alexandros was a brilliant tour guide, he could tell lots of facts about Crete, Greek culture and showed an insight into their lives. Also, he spoke fluent English. Alexandros was so friendly as he also introduced us to Greek spices. You can feel very safe in the jeep, as they drive carefully. The landscape was breathtaking. The good thing is that you can also make beautiful pictures at loads of places. The sunset was a dream, just wear a jacket as the wind up in the mountains is really strong. In the end, we could try traditional Greek food, Greek salad with bread and tzatziki, homemade wine and potatoes with some chicken. The portions are huge, so don't eat before, and you can always give some leftovers to kittens and cats, who are nearby. Overall, truly amazing experience, as the tour guide made sure we enjoyed the time and made most of it! Highly recommend!
