About this trip
Four days in Heraklion, Crete's capital, at your own pace with no group and no guide chasing you around. You base yourself in a local apartment or suite and explore the city and the nearby Knossos site whenever suits you.
It's a self-guided, private stay rather than a packed itinerary — good for settling into Cretan life, wandering the old town, eating well, and taking day trips as you fancy. Airport transfers are arranged both ways, so the logistics are handled even though the days are yours to plan.
