Super netter Busfahrer und Reiseleitung. Das Aquarium war etwas klein und man ist relativ schnell durch, leider. Vor allem mit einem kleinen Kind, dass keine Ruhe hat 😅 den Markt haben wir ausgelassen. Wir waren all inclusive hier und brauchten kein Essen zu kaufen. Heraklion war eigentlich ganz schön! Was mich immer an den Touren nervt, ist, dass man so viel Zeit im Bus verbringt.
