It is organized to get the maximum from your visit. We will hike to the highest summit in Crete (2456 meters), sea kayak in the crystal clear water of the Mediterranean and enjoy a top-class rock climbing in limestone. We will overnight in tents or small apartments. The listed cost is for overnight in tents. For accommodation in small apartments please get in touch with us to discuss the best possible scenario.
Requirements
The trip involves many days of outdoor activities and therefore is wise to have previous experience in most of the sports that are involved.
For rock climbing it is not necessary to have experience, but for sea kayaking, it will be good to have some experience.
Depending on the group's abilities we might be able to exclude one of the listed sports from the program. Contact us if that is the case for you.
Regarding hiking, you should be able to hike up to 5 hours in rocky terrain. In any way, if you are not sure about your skills don't be disappointed, most of the time we are able to offer advice and maybe an alternative plan.
For a group of 4 or more, we can customize completely the trip to suit your needs. Below you will find a brief overview of the schedule for the week. The plan many times changes due to weather (especially for the sea kayak trips) but more or less you will get an idea of what to expect.

Our week in Crete exceeded all expectations; the mixture of climbing, hiking, and kayaking allowed us to experience the stunning landscapes in a way that felt both adventurous and rewarding. Each day brought a new highlight, but sharing meals filled with local flavors after a long day of exploring truly brought us together as a group. The only suggestion we have is to perhaps include a few more options for downtime, as we found ourselves wanting to soak in the beautiful sea views a bit longer.

We had an exhilarating time tackling rock faces and paddling through serene waters, which definitely broke up the usual business routine. The accommodations were cozy and offered a perfect blend of comfort after our adventures; however, a bit more variety in the breakfast options would be a nice touch.

Our family truly cherished the days spent rock climbing and sea kayaking, embracing the thrill of new challenges together. The accommodations were cozy and welcoming, but a little more variety in our dining options would have made the experience even better.

The diverse activities throughout the week provided an excellent blend of adventure and relaxation, making our days in Heraklion truly memorable. Each morning began with energizing hikes through stunning landscapes, often leading us to breathtaking views that seemed to stretch endlessly. We spent afternoons rock climbing on the impressive cliffs, where even beginners found their footing thanks to the supportive guides. Kayaking in the clear blue sea added a refreshing twist to our experience, allowing us to explore hidden coves and appreciate the coastline from a unique perspective. Our accommodations were comfortable, providing cozy spots to unwind after each day of adventure. One minor suggestion would be to include a few more local dining options in the itinerary to further immerse ourselves in the Cretan culture. Overall, this trip was an unforgettable mix of outdoor fun and cultural exploration.
