About this trip
Seven days on Crete, moving between ancient history, coastal villages, and genuinely good food, at an easy pace with a small group.
You'll walk the ruins of Knossos, spend time in the quiet seaside village of Sougia, and explore the port city of Chania, with a family-run boat trip through nearby islands along the way.
Meals lean into what the island does well — fresh seafood, local wine, and pastries like bougatsa — and there's plenty of room to just sit somewhere nice and eat.
What you'll do
- Explore the Knossos archaeological site
- Unwind in the seaside village of Sougia
- Join a local family's boat trip through nearby islands
- Sip wine and wander the port city of Chania
- Try fresh seafood and bougatsa pastry
- You travel by public transport with limited luggage space, so pack light and be ready to carry your own bags up stairs and over cobblestones
- Crete is hilly, with steps built into much of the landscape — expect some physical demand, especially with luggage
- Summer can hit 40°C, while April offers quieter sights but unpredictable weather and some closed businesses
