Heraklion is a lively centre of Crete and an excellent starting point for organized tours of the city’s surroundings, neighbouring areas and the nearby areas of the island. From here it is easy to go on educational trips to coastal towns and villages, as well as to nearby natural and cultural sites. We offer trips and excursions that keep the focus on the nearest territories and allow you to feel the Cretan rhythm of life more deeply.
In the excursions around Heraklion and its environs you will find a variety of cultural and religious points of interest: ancient churches and monasteries, objects of Orthodox pilgrimage, city embankments and museums of the island. The routes are built to show both the urban atmosphere of Heraklion and the color of the neighboring settlements, where the traditions and crafts of Crete are preserved.
The nature around Heraklion amazes with its Mediterranean light beauty: bays and beaches with clear water, olive groves and rocky banks, small gorges and picturesque coastal trails. For active travelers, hiking trails and short hikes around the neighborhood, sea walks along the coast and quiet walks for families with children on landscaped beaches and in quiet coves are available.
A special place is occupied by gastronomic and ethno-tourist formats: tastings with local producers, meetings with artisans and farmers, acquaintance with cret traditions in villages. On such trips, you can feel the spirit of the island through local tastes and rituals - from the aroma of freshly brewed Greek coffee to conversations in the tavern about fishing and traditions, with an emphasis on contact with people and culture, rather than the format of the meal.
The formats of the organization vary: individual itinerary trips for those who value privacy, or group excursions for those who want new acquaintances. Moving around the neighborhood is possible on foot, by car, by boat - depending on the chosen route and the desired pace. Local guides offer author’s routes and are valuable for their knowledge, live stories and ability to adapt trips to the interests of the group.
