What people are saying about Crete

This has been an amazing experience and we cannot recommend Alma de Creta enough. Roussos was a knowledgeable and passionate guide throughout and we felt incredibly welcome and cared for. Crete is an amazing island but more than anything because of passionate people like Roussos and his company, making getting to know Crete such a gratifying exprience

One of the best excursions we have ever booked! The rental company and their team were very efficient and informative. They ask you to download an app to ensure you don't get lost and also aids in confirming your location should anything happen. 10/10 :)

Great morning trip, all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Scenery beautiful, not much to see when snorkelling but still great to get out, paddle boarding was really enjoyable as well. Would recommend :-)
