The perfect way to visit the magnificent beaches of Elafonisi and Falasarna, understand the production of olive oil as well as learn about the history of Crete and the culture. Christine was a wonderful guide, sharing her local knowledge throughout the day. Christine and driver, Thanassi, ensured we had everything we needed to make it a comfortable and really enjoyable tour.
