Traveler Reviews

lors de notre premier séjour en 2010 , tout le bâtiment était en transformations et on visitait quelques vitrines situées dans des sortes de containers mais maintenant quel magnifique contraste dont la visite mérite d'y rester des heures entières dans diverses salles très bien aménagées !

È stata un'esperienza che conisglio grandemente a tutti. La guida Viola ci è passata a prendere con la sua auto in Hotel, visto che era bassa stagione eravamo soltanto io, il mio moroso e la guida il che ha reso tutto più affascinante a mio avviso. La visita prevede vari stop in villaggi tipici dove sembra che il tempo si sia fermato, e proseguendo lontano dalle solite rotte turistiche siamo arrivati ad alcune bellissime chiese ortosodde. in questi villaggi abbiamo assaggiato ogni tipo di ben di dio, dalle verdure e la frutta appena raccolta all caffè greco più buono di sempre. Andando verso le montagne ci siamo soffermati su panorami pazzeschi. Durante tutto il tragitto, la guida ci ha raccontato curiosità del posto e le leggende dei miti greci che si annidavano intorno a questi villaggi, insenature e grotte. Siamo stati infatti a vedere la grotta dove si dice sia nato Zeus, molto bella. E dopo la lunga passeggiata siamo andati in una taverna dove abbiamo incotrati esclusivamente cr

My boyfriend and I were looking for a non-touristic experience, something out of the ordinary. And this was it. A travel in raw and unknown beautiful places with a really nice guide: Viola. The guide picked us up from our hotel and drove us for the entire day. We visited tipical shepperd village where we had the best greek coffee ever. The panoramic views was really breathtaking, the raw nature of Crete is amazing. Then our guide told us story about antient mythology and curiosities about the villages and their story. We visited zeus cave The plateau of Lassithi The 10000 windsmill And included we had lunch in a really typical taverna. No tourist but only shepperd and friendly locals. I suggest the tour for those who want to leave the typical touristic trail and have a singular and memorable experience.

The experience in Dicteon cave is so irreplaceable that we must visit it when in Crete. That area including Cronos cave must be the very origin of the Europian history. Viola's guide is perfect. Definitely recommended!
