    Our group had an amazing time touring Crete, especially visiting the ancient site of Knossos which brought the fascinating history to life. Chania’s charming streets were perfect for leisurely strolls, and we found some unforgettable local food spots that served delicious Cretan dishes. Rethymnon’s architecture also captivated us, though the time spent there felt a bit rushed. One minor drawback was the logistics of the private tour; it sometimes felt less organized than we expected. Overall, this trip was a fantastic way to explore the beauty and culture of the region.

    Exploring the rich history of Knossos and the charming streets of Rethymnon’s was a highlight of my trip, with each day packed with fascinating stories.
