“This was our second tour with Panagioti and he knocked it out of the park! We were able to see lots of unique views, experience the local flavours and truly embrace the Cretan way of living through his storytelling. The cave is amazing, but make sure to wear good, stable shoes as the hike is steep and took is about 20 minutes to reach the cave. Definitely recommend touring with this company!”
