All in all okay - but no „sailing-trip“ & there are changes due to COVID-19! Pick-up time by bus about 7:30 am, very early. It took us about 1,5 h to get to the first stopp. Lots of time in the bus, no sailing, just about 60-90 minutes on a vessel. Due to COVID-19 no swimming in Kolokýtha and no bbq on board but a little packed lunches for everyone and swimming later in elounda for about 2 h. About 1 h staying on spinalonga island.

My error in thinking that this was a small group tour because pick-up was offered. We got ferried to a big bus and this took so long we arrived when there were loads of other buses there. Would have been better to take a taxi or local bus and get there early! Although our guide was very knowledgeable, there were so many of us trying to hear him that we missed a lot of what he said. We slipped away and walked around ourselves until meeting the bus to head back to the museum. We then departed from the trip and went to the museum ourselves - far better experience than going around with a large group in this wonderful museum. Big group tours are not for us..

Absolutely amazing day. Petra, our tour guide, was brillant; the perfect combination of funny and informative having to switch between German and English throughout the trip. The meal arranged was perfect in a local restaurant near the cave where they served all their own produce. The cave itself was spectacular (and a cool break from the September heat). Petra ensured both us and the German couple were happy and together we had a fantastic day. It's worth doing for the views, Petra's knowledge, the delicious food and of course the cave itself. Unfortunately the review won't let me add a photo stating their too large. Thank you so much. Victoria (Sheffield, England)
