Agia Pelagia: Sunset or Morning Quad Tour & Ghost Town Visit
2.Sunset or Morning Quad Tour & Ghost Town Visit
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…”

3.Dia Island Morning Sailing Trip with Snorkeling
Morning sailing from Heraklion to Dia Island for snorkeling, swimming, snacks, wine, and sailing lessons on a 6-hour trip by Cretan Yachts.
“An absolutely fantastic trip, it was so intimate and exclusive only 2 families on the boat 8 of us and two crew. The crew were amazing nothing was too much trouble for them, we set sail for Dia Island on the yacht, there was only us and another sml boat snorkeling equipment was provided, saw lots of fish , an eal type of fish, caterpillar type of creatures and an octopus which was the highlight of the day. drinks and lunch were perfect. Would definitely recommend this trip.”
Heraklion: Sunrise Balloon Flight & Sunset Catamaran Cruise
4.Sunrise Balloon Flight & Sunset Catamaran Cruise
Sunrise balloon over Lassithi Plateau plus an all-inclusive sunset catamaran from Heraklion or Hersonissos with snorkeling, drinks, and sushi.
“Very enjoyable experience, definitely worth the money. Unfortunately our hot air balloon got postponed due to the weather but we actually think it worked out better to do the balloon and cruise on separate days. Staff were very friendly and attentive, lots to do on the boat and it was very well managed. Can’t recommend them enough. The balloon day was also lovely, and the breakfast afterwards up in the mountains was just beautiful.”
