Från Heraklion: heldags bussresa till staden Chania, sjön Kournas och staden Rethymno
Beskrivning

Resplan
Denna utflykt tar oss till västra Kreta och vårt första stopp i Chania, Kretas mest förtjusande stad. Det var en viktig minoisk stad och "de kretensiska städernas moder", enligt forntida författare. Staden är uppdelad i den gamla staden, med den vackra hamnen och den nya staden, bortom dess venetianska befästningar. Gamla stan är en av Medelhavets vackraste städer och kallas för "österns Venedig". Vi kan beundra prover av alla civilisationer som har passerat härifrån: arkeologiska minoiska platser, turkiska minareter och moskéer, muslimska stadsdelar, venetianska fästningar, varv, fontäner, torg, valv, herrgårdar, Loggia och Chanias fyr, Chania 731 32.
När vi går tillbaka stannar vi till i Rethimnon, Kretas tredje största stad, där monument från den arkeologiska, ottomanska och venetianska epoken samexisterar på ett extremt intressant sätt. Ta en promenad i den gamla stadsdelens gränder, besök de turkiska minareterna som Neratze-moskén och de venetianska fästningarna eller bara njut av ditt kaffe i den magnifika hamnen.
När vi lämnar denna extraordinära stad anländer vi till den pittoreska sjön Kournas, en vacker livsmiljö med naturligt sötvatten, en i sitt slag på Kreta. Frodig grönska, branta håligheter mellan kullar, sällsynta fiskarter och fågelarter, som ål, morhönor och tvåfärgade sköldpaddor, gör Kournas till den idealiska platsen att njuta av ett dopp innan vår lunch eller en tidig eftermiddagspromenad. Hela området Kournas är skyddat enligt Natura 2000, eftersom det har varit en utpekad våtmark.

Should have just done chania and lake. Three places took too long as did the drop off back to Heraklion
Hello thank you for the informations thats helpfull
Ignore the tour times - states on here that you receive 2 hours at Rethyno, this is a bare faced lie. I brought this up with the guide who stated it was never advertised as this and did not want to see the listing showing otherwise. Only reason we picked this tour is due to the extra time at this location but it was all just a lie. Would not recommend this company for others. Air con broken on bus, tour guide speaking constantly so unable to sleep/relax on the bus.
Hello thank you for the informations thats helpfull
A nice excursion with a bilingual guide (English: French) who shared his passion for his country with us. The comments were interesting, but since they were repeated in both languages, it felt a bit long... Chania and Rethymnon are interesting; the lake is not essential at all except for dining by the water. I would have clearly preferred to have more time in Rethymnon (one hour is insufficient). Overall, a beautiful day.
thank you for the review
An easy way to visit Thanks and Refugee from Irakio. A long day with ample time to visit both cities. Comfortable bus, knowledgeable tour leader, and great sites
thank you for the review
Very well organized and enjoyable despite a large number of participants. Highly recommended.
thank you for the review
The guide was great! Just maybe instead of showing us the way to see the attractions, she could have accompanied those who wanted and then left some free time!
thank you for the review
The tour was a pleasure from start -720am pickup -to 8pm finish.The 3 stops were all worth seeing with the only change being longer in each place would have been nicer but due to the length of the day this was not possible The tour guide was a friendly and informative lady who made the day a real pleasure .Thank you for such a lovely tour!
Thank you for the review
It was amazing how they managed to pack so much into one day. Crete is so big, so to be able to see these wonderful places on a day trip was brilliant. I would have to say that it's a very long day, it was about 14 hours from start to finish but I suppose it depends on how far away you are. It was definitely worth it though. Thanks very much.
Thank you for the review
Bus was old and uncomfortable. Speakers poor , my wife had to sit behind a broken seat. Guides response was to change seats but there were no spare for two people. The driver drove very fast
Pros: Unmissable places to visit to discover the north of Crete.The guide "Olga" very friendly and professional Cons:Departure from the hotel at 7.30am and arrival in Chania at 11.30am...A very long bus ride that can seem endless.Running tours , timed and shortened because of the “latecomers”.
thank you for the review
