The lady who was the tour guide was excellent, informative but not boring! She also took us on a little walking tour of the avacado village, which was really nice :) amazing value for money. Absolutely loved the lake we stopped at first & plakias was divine, food was so good.

Lake Kournas is mooi. Je moet een waterfiets huren om schildpadjes aan de overkant te zien.. Leuke taverne met uitzicht op meer. Bergdorpje met veel johannesboompitbomen en avocadoplantages. Daar krijg je weinig van mee. Had graag daar bezoek gebracht en verhaal erachter gehoord. Door naar Plakkias. Leuk dorpje aan Libische zee, goede tavernen voor lunch. Je blijft hier pasr uur. Volgende stop roofvogels spotten. Kolonie ca 20 vogels hoog in de lucht. Terug in Rethymnon aan hoofdweg afgezet

Het was een erg leuke reis. We wisten niet goed wat we konden verwachten, omdat de informatie op de site erg weinig was. We zijn naar Lake Kournass geweest, Argyroupoli, Plakias en Kotsifou Canyon. Dit zijn plekken waar je zelf niet zelf heen zal gaan, maar het was prachtig. De tourguide was ook erg aardig en sprak zowel Engels als Duits vloeiend. Het stadje Argyroupoli was erg mooi en er waren bijna geen toeristen, waardoor je er optimaal van kon genieten. Zeker aan te raden!

Great day out overall. Our host was very informative throughout the day. Lake Kournas very good and scenic. Argyroupoli the highlight stepping back in time to Roman and Venetian past. Plakias very relaxing lunch. Omnia Mundi Fumus Et Umbra.

It were some beautiful locations and we went to places i would have probably never seen on my own. I'm really happy with the fact it was clear where and when I would be picked up and the guide clearly told us the schedule which is important to me. It was very relaxing and the guide told us lots of interesting facts and recommended us a good tavern for lunch. The guide even bought a clock so if you're English isn't as good, you would still know when to come back. Very happy with this trip.

Gut organisiert mit kompetenter Reisebegleitung. War angenehm überrascht da das in der Beschreibung nicht soviel hergibt von dem was geboten wird. Wer auch mal die andere Seite der Strände sehen will ist hier genau richtig
