Every trip has one spare day too few. These 7 full-day tours in Heraklion justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide over a coffee and get back to the fun part.
4WD Crete jeep safari from Heraklion with hands-on goat milking, pottery, and cooking, plus lunch, windmills, and olive oil tastings.
“This tour was really great! We booked it on a whim because we had an extra day in Crete with nothing planned, and it was awesome. The ride is really fun, the guides are informative, and I would highly recommend it.”
Private full-day trip from Heraklion to Mochos, Lasithi Plateau, Cave of Zeus, and Knossos, with honey and raki tasting.
“Kostas was awesome showing us the sights and allowing us to experience the local traditions and cuisine!”
Watch Crete’s sunset from the mountains on an off-road ride, with village tastings and a traditional taverna dinner plus pickup from Heraklion or Sissi.
“Fabulous trip up into the mountains with Costas. Tasting at a small village store and then a visit to the goats was entertaining but the highlight was the sunset! Followed by a great feast and dancing. Our guide Costas was driver, guide, photographer and comedian! A great experience in Crete.”
Full-day sailing from Heraklion to Dia Island with snorkeling and SUP, remote coves, fresh local lunch, drinks, and a small crew.
“A truly wonderful day trip to Dia. From start to finish our host Matthew and Skipper Vag were so welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable. The boat was beautiful with space to store our bags, toilets and a fresh water shower to rinse off the salt. Lunch was so fresh and delicious. They spoke three different languages and it was very intimate with one other family and a couple. We stopped in two bays and snorkelled and swam. There is enough marine life to see, it’s not a coral reef but the water is the most beautiful clear turquoise. End to end, really memorable special day for our holiday. Thanks you!”
Full-day bus trip from Heraklion to Chania, Rethymno, and Lake Kournas. Pickup included, English guide, swim break, free sights.
“Au départ le bus nous a oublié et beaucoup de bus. Excursion prise en français mais faite également en anglais. Guide qui parle mal le français mais agreable. Bus propre. Conduite à la grec.”
14-hour guided Samaria Gorge trek with early pickup, hotel transfers, boat return, and a finish in Agia Roumeli.
“This trip will definitely leave you sore! Very very beautiful walk for people that are used to walking very larger distances. The coach picked us up from our hotel in Hersonissos at 4:50 am and we made it to the gorgeous for around 9/10 am. When we completed the gorgeous we were given some free time at the beech and caught a boat to a nearby port to start our journey back. We set off again at around half past 6 and we arrived back at our hotel for 11pm. All in all this was a truly wonderful experience ✨️”
South Crete day trip from Heraklion with Cretan wine tasting, Messara Valley views, Matala caves, beach swim, and lunch with local wine.
“War alles super, nur im Weingut hätte man mehr erklären!”
Pick the day first, then pick the boat.
