Keep the Kids Busy

Knossos Palace, Archaeological Museum and City Food Private Tour

One of Greece's most vibrant cities, Heraklion, once known as Kastro, has been at the crossroads of civilizations for centuries. Take a private tour of Heraklion and get to get to know the city not just as it is now, but also as it was centuries ago, uncovering remnants of occupations by the Byzantines, Arabs, Venetians, Turks, and, yes, pirates. You will then continue your tour by visiting the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, where you can admire Minoan treasures. You'll then hit the backstreets and hidden pathways, checking out the highlights, sampling local treats, and discovering the forces that combined to make Heraklion the city it is today. 

Walk Around "The Lake"

Agios Nikolaos centers on Lake Voulismeni, a small, circular lagoon ringed by steep rocky cliffs to one side and open-air cafés and seafood restaurants on the other. Linked to the sea by Napoleon's troops, Voulismeni is hardly ever referred to by name and is usually only called "the lake" on signs, maps, and in general conversation. The lagoon is especially lovely at night when the cliffs are lit up, creating reflections of a lively scene across the water. A variety of open-air restaurants line the lake, and others are perched atop the dramatic rock face overlooking the water. From up high, you can see beyond the lagoon to the sea behind. According to local legend, the goddess Athena used to bathe here, and the lake was long said to be bottomless (although to be fair, it is surprisingly deep).

Traditional Olive Oil Production Group Tour

Experience the original and traditional way of producing olive oil, in a traditional 140-year-old Cretan olive oil mill. This demonstration is the perfect way to learn about olive oil, and Crete's traditional culture.

Cretan Culture Group Experience including Olive Oil, Farming, Ceramics, and Cooking

Join this authentic tour to truly experience Cretan culture! The Cretan Olive Oil Farm is a traditional Cretan farm and olive oil factory where you can explore the lesser known side of Crete and its foods. The family will guide you around their 140-year-old working farm and olive oil factory and you will engage in several fun activities.

Winning Beaches

Just down the coast from Agios Nikolaos, Voulisma Beach is a calm, shallow beach with azure waters. It is considered one of Crete's best beaches for its curving ribbon of soft sand backed by cliffs. Suppose you'd like to visit a place within walking distance of Agios Nikolaos' center. In that case, Kitroplateia Beach is a lovely crescent of pebbles and sand that looks across to the mountains on the opposite shore of Mirabello Bay.

Street Stories of Chania Group Tour

Excitement From the Sea to the Mountains

Western Crete is full of safe beaches, and other family-friendly opportunities. There are various organic farms stuffed with activities, from a traditional bee garden, making olive oil, or taking cooking classes. If your kids are drawn to the sea, they'll enjoy a tour with a glass bottom boat. You can also enjoy a half-day tour with the Little Fun Train, which takes you through fishing towns, gorges and olive groves. For some more excitement, visit the Limnoupolis Water Park, go horseback riding, or rent bikes and hit the mountain trails.

Beaches of West Crete

Western Crete has some of the Mediterranean's best beaches. Gramvoussa, or more precisely Balos Bay, was long a secret spot. Those who arrived by private boat or a long walk were rewarded by turquoise waters, lagoons, and beaches of pure white sand. Take a boat from Kissamos to enjoy this natural wonder. Elafonisi, located at the Crete's southwestern tip, will leave you speechless, with its red and pink coral sands. Sougia is one of Crete's best beaches, as it's relaxed and quiet. The sea and beach are clean and sheltered, and the surrounding landscape beautiful. Our favorite spot of all is Seitan Limania, a hidden corner of the northeast side of the Akrotiri peninsula, 20 km from Chania. Heading down the zigzag road there can be a bit of an adventure, but you'll love the place!
