Welcome to Cretantour - Discover Crete like a local
Who doesn’t know the feeling: your holiday to Crete is booked, but the next question quickly follows - which sights should you definitely see? Sure, a travel guide can help - but what if you want to experience the real Crete?
At Cretantour, that’s exactly what we want to offer you. We, Emma and Jiannis, will take you on a journey far beyond the postcard clichés. Whether alone, just the two of you or in a small group (with no more than six people), we’ll open the door to a different side of Crete - full of stories, hidden paths, and unforgettable goosebump moments.
We show you Crete through our eyes - far from mass tourism, without schedules or pressure - but with lots of heart, passion, and personality.
What makes Crete special:
History & Culture of Crete
Crete is both wild and gentle. Here, thousands of years of history meet living traditions. Cretan culture runs deep - in its music, dance, beliefs, and the way people welcome their guests.
Cretan Hospitality
The Cretans are famous for their Cretan hospitality - they are warm, open, and genuinely heartfelt.
Landscape, Flora & Fauna of Crete
The landscape is as varied as it is stunning: steep gorges full of wild herbs, rugged mountains, green olive groves, fragrant citrus fields - and the endless turquoise sea. The island’s flora and fauna are unique: griffon vultures soar above the peaks, wild goats climb rocky cliffs, and in the quiet of the morning, nature reveals itself in its purest form.
Culinary of Crete
And then there’s the food – the heart of Cretan culture. It’s fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. Here, meals are not just eaten - they’re shared, laughed over, and lived.
Cretan cuisine is based on the best olive oil, sun-ripened vegetables, wild herbs, fresh fish, tender lamb or goat, flavorful cheese, legumes, and handmade bread. Often, what ends up on the table comes straight from the garden, the neighbor, the shepherd, or the sea. It’s cooked with time, feeling, and the knowledge of generations.
Crete lives and breathes - in the winding alleys of its villages, in the smiles of its people, and in the unmistakable beauty of the island.
And that’s exactly how we want to show it to you: honestly, up close, with open hearts, real knowledge, and a deep connection. Not as tourists - but as friends, as part of something truly special.
We look forward to meeting you in person soon.
See you soon,
Emma & Jiannis
