Interesting and diverse stops on this tour, great guides, good transport. Too little time at Spinalonga and Kolokytha Beach though. Lunch on the boat felt a bit like being herded like cattle but the food was nice enough and the staff on the boat were friendly and helpful.
It was very pleasant very good organised,we enjoyed it very much. Value for money, worth it indeed
A great day trip with Poppy as an enthusiastic guide / guide. Thank you, Poppy.
Been before but some things have changed , beautiful scenery , but not for small children when having to stand around in the sun listening to a guide. ( Again I love this kinda thing , but the 13yo didn't ) Couldn't fault the boat crew of the st Nikolas from nostro cruises , food was great , atmosphere was excellent on the boat. Swim was exhilarating. A very long day but I enjoyed it , although is it worth the €20 admission fee , I don't think so not for approx 1 HR . Otherwise its a trip worth doing , a must of you don't plan to return to Crete .
The best excursion ever, thanks to the guide Esther. She was really good at relating to us and helping us understand what we were seeing.
We took the excursion to Spinalonga and it was beautiful.
1.5 hours isn’t long enough on Spinalonga. Being a photographer there are so many photo opportunities and so I went and explored away from the crowd so I was not able to get right around. I could spend quite a few hours on the Island. That is my personal opinion, others may have found it to be long enough. I may need to go again.
We made two excursions supervised by Cretan Odyssey: the island of Spinalonga / Agios Nikolaos, and Knossos + Heraklion. I say it was in April, so probably an easier time, but still: – punctuality was impeccable, – the top organization, – the really excellent Francophone guides. Thank you for this pleasant participation in the creation of our Cretan memories!
Unacceptable noise pollution. It is shocking that such practices continue while Greek law tightens on this matter. This company is the very example of disrespectful and vulgar mass tourism. Shameful.
Can you please sent me an email with what exactly you mean, cause i do not understand. manager@cretanodyssey.gr Would be intersting for me to know. Thank you very much
This trip was great! Our tour guide Kristina was excellent. We had plenty of time to explore Spinalonga, had a great stop at Kolokytha Bay for a swim and a soak in the sun, and the lunch on the boat was delicious. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
