A local tour company is Tourline who have been guiding visitors around the most interesting sights of Crete for over 25 years. Alex says:
"All the professional guides have worked for many years with us and nobody knows more about Crete than they do.
Having in mind, that all clients want to combine excursions with swimming in crystal sea water, we organize all our trips combining excursions with leisure on the beach".
Tourline take tours just about every day in the summer season, with pickups from all the major centres and hotels. Choose from cultural, historical and scenic tours; our recommendation would be the Knossos and Lasithi Plateau tour if you only have one day to explore the real character of Crete.
