Heraklion Archaeological Museum & old town Private Guided Tour

Great local guide

We had a great tour of Heraklion Museum and a short walk around center of Heraklion (we visited church, loggia and the fountain) with Nico. He is not only knowledgeable about history and art, but also was able to describe the local way of life and Cretan traditions. We highly recommend his tours and guven he is local to Rethymnon, he can do other tours as well. You can reach him directly on +30 694 441 2277

Experience a 4 Hours Modern Via Ferrata

Unforgettable Climb with Stunning Views and an Outstanding Guide

A few years ago, I did a Via Ferrata in Peru. My son Taino did one a month ago in Switzerland, and my son Kylian did one last year in Spain along the coast. But this Via Ferrata exceeded all our expectations and previous experiences. Our guide, Stelios Asmargianakis, picked us up punctually at 6:30 in the morning and drove us safely for an hour and a half to the place where we would start climbing. The guide was not only extremely friendly, polite, and helpful, but also very experienced. He gave clear instructions and accompanied us throughout the entire Via Ferrata. The route began with a descent, which was fairly easy. After about 20 minutes of going down, we reached an ascending section with breathtaking views. Then, there was a short traverse on a steep part of the mountain. Although it looked impressive and a bit scary (the ground was 200 meters below us), it was not difficult to do the traverse safely under the watchful eye of our guide, Stelios. After the traverse, the route continued vertically. The views were absolutely beautiful and impressive, and the Via Ferrata was well maintained. In short, this trip was a milestone in our lives, even though we have already done many adventurous activities: from deep-sea diving in Aruba and white-water rafting in Ecuador to paragliding in Peru and canyoning in Costa Rica. This Via Ferrata is highly recommended, and the guide is knowledgeable and very friendly.

Eco bike tour in historical Heraklion

Wenn man Heraklion ganz nah kennen lernen will, dann kann man die Tour nur empfehlen. Mit dem kleinen eBike kommt man mühelos durch die ganze Stadt. Vor allem bei den engen Gassen und Straßen zeigen die Minis ihre Vorzüge. Wenn man dann noch von einem kundigen Guide wie Alexios, der in Heraklion aufgewachsen ist, geführt wird, dann kann man sehr viel über die Stadt erfahren. Auf den Märkten und dann beim Meze-Mittagessen konnte man Heraklion auch schmecken. Sehr zu empfehlen!
