There are a variety of organised excursions on Crete offered by different operators, allowing visitors to explore the most beautiful and interesting places on the island in a stress-free way. These excursions cover a wide range, from cultural and historical tours to ancient sites such as Knossos and the Palace of Phaistos to nature experiences such as hikes through the Samaria Gorge and boat trips to the islands of Chrissi and Spinalonga.
The excursion organisers often offer all-inclusive packages with transfers, entrance fees and guided tours in various languages. Jeep safaris into the Cretan hinterland, wine and olive oil tastings in traditional villages and snorkelling and diving excursions along the coast are particularly popular. Such organised tours are ideal for holidaymakers who want to make the most of their time on Crete without having to worry about the planning and logistics.
