"Secrets of Crete" is a boutique tour agency that consolidates a small group of like-minded expert guides and tour professionals. We provide tours on Crete ranging from classical hits of the island such as Minoan archeological sites to the unorthodox tours, taking our visitors off-the-beaten path, providing invigorating experiences, unique and pertinent to Crete. Whether a day tour or a multiple day tour, we select the finest ingredients and carefully craft each tour for a great experience. We are experienced in making sure the tour fits the visitor’s interests, combining different aspects of the island and bringing about the most captivating insights. All of that - accompanied by private guidance and insider’s stories. “Secrets of Crete” guides have a personalised approach in guiding the individuals and mini-groups; we are, however, also skilled in handling the dynamics and particularities of big groups. We speak English, German and Hebrew fluently and, naturally, Greek. We love what we are doing and that shows also during our tours.

Having traveled for over 30 years, I have found the whole world in one of the most fascinating and unique places on earth – Crete. It is a diverse, rich and inspiring island - its history and unique traditions, its people, the delicacies of Cretan cuisine, its fantastic beaches and its stunning nature. But most valuable on Crete are the human connections, hospitality of Cretans. Let me show you “my” Crete, the Crete that I love…Kαλώς ήρθατε - Welcome to Crete!

This island is my passion and my whole life - its archeological gems, it's rich, varied and majestic history, monasteries and sacred relicts. It is my birthplace, my home, my stronghold. This island has so much to offer to its people and it is generous to its visitors! The history is a great part of our identity today and has moulded Cretans into who we are - strong, openhearted and forward looking. Only by realising one's past, can one make its way forward.
Crete is an immense, gorgeous island with diverse landscape and so many possible sites to explore and amusements to indulge in that it may seem difficult to absorb the vast amount of information about it and decide which of its marvels and activities to experience. To begin, ask yourself:
Our day tour allows you to learn about and enjoy an abundance of sites in just one day. Plus, shall you need, we provide tips and suggestions about how to organize the rest of your stay, such as what are the must-see spots of Crete and which other sites to visit if time allows.
