From Heraklion,Agia Pelagia,Malia: Samaria Gorge Guided Trip - Getting to Omalos: the scenic warm-up before the hike

1.From Heraklion,Agia Pelagia,Malia: Samaria Gorge Guided Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 298 reviews · 12 - 14 hours · from $53Our pick

A challenging guided trek through Samaria Gorge from Heraklion with an escort, Omalos breakfast, Agia Roumeli sea time, and a ferry ride back.

“The very friendly tour guide gave interesting information about Crète and the the region while going to and coming back from the Samaria Gorge. The hike was beautiful and pleasant (took us about 3.5 hours) and we were happy to not be stuck with the group and be allowed to go at our own pace. The rocks are very slippery so you will want to bring shoes or boots with good adherence and stability. We departed from Malia at 5h00 and came back at 22h30. Props to our bus driver who made us feel safe during the whole trip even with the winding and steep roads.”

2.Sunset or Morning Quad Tour & Ghost Town Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 221 reviews · from $99

Quad bike through Cretan trails, a ghost town stop, and a sea-view sunset with raki and a sweet included.

“Had an absolutely incredible time with ELA Quad Safari! Right from the beginning it was so enjoyable. Everything was very well organised and planned out. Very safe- two members of staff follow on motorbikes to ensure safety when crossing roads and off-roading around the edge of the mountains. Ghost village was brilliant and our guides gave us some great history of the village. Take you to some great spots for sunset photos. Finished off the tour with a stop off at a cafe to get some Greek Gyros! Then once we got back, we were offered a sweet and a shot of Raki. All the little touches made this tour…”

A private day from Heraklion to Knossos, Titakis winery for a five-wine tasting, then Archanes for lunch and village time.

5.Minoan Path: Knossos Palace, Winery Visit, Lunch at Archanes

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $240

A 5-hour Heraklion day trip with Knossos, a Peza winery tasting of 5 Cretan wines, and a traditional Archanes lunch.

“Our tour required flexibility because the palace unexpectedly closed half the day we were arriving. This company was on top of it; texted with me and we agreed to change the order, add a beach, take out the winery, add an olive oil tasting. The oil was the best we had tasted in the Greek islands so far. I was glad the tour company was able that last minute. The beach we got to relax at for a couple hours was in a beautiful resort area. We didnt want to leave. Then the meal in the village was truly authentic, service was great. Glad we picked this tour.”
