Itinerary

  • Agia Sofia Cave

    The Cave of Agia Sophia is one of the most impressive caves of Crete, as its central hall has a height of 20 meters and a diameter of 70. It is located just beyond the village of Topolia. There you will also find the church of Agia Sophia from which the cave took its name. The remarkable numerous stalagmites and stalactites on the cave’s walls reach a size of five meters. The legend says that from the Cave of Agia Sophia passed St. George and there is even a mark in the rock from the horseshoe of his horse. In the Cave of Agia Sophia, scientists have discovered objects that testify to its use by the people of the Neolithic Period.

  • Elafonissi Beach

Great trip to Elafonisi beach

Published on Jun, 2024

We were a family of four including our daughter and 17 year old granddaughter.Trip there and back was interesting & beautiful. Simona was excellent. Her stories & information made the drive time fly by. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful beach. Excursion great value for money.

Published on May, 2023

Stunning natural beauty. Crystal clear water, well maintained beach with the added bonus of the option to hire sun beds and beach umbrella ( 20 euros for 2 for the day). Visited end of May, would imagine July onwards gets very crowded. 10 min Walk on uneven ground to reach beach, may be challenging for some people. Sofia cave well worth a visit too. Saw three wild vultures. Excellent guide and driver (probably not for those a bit nervous about winding mountain roads)
