Traditional village walk and a Cretan dance show with Mediterranean buffet, unlimited wine, and pickup in Crete for $34.
“Excursion sympathique et abordable au niveau du tarif. Déçue car je m’attendais à voir un spectacle de danse grecque pendant 3h. Les représentations de danse étaient courtes. Pour combler le « temps », les touristes étaient tous invités à danser sur la scène. Une chanteuse intervenait également pour combler le temps.”
Hersonissos Alar Spectacular dinner show: 4-course meal, aerialists, fire and lasers. Choose dinner-show or drink&show for $47.
“Honestly, the Alar Dance Theatre show was something else. Didn't expect it to be that good. The acts were top tier, you can tell proper talent and graft went into what they did. No doubt they've put the work in. Everyone there was great. Performers, waiters, all of them - friendly, chatty, made you feel proper welcome. Food was class aswell, 4 courses and each one hit the spot. If you're in Crete, defo worth booking. Not just a show, it's a full on experience.”

“Spectacle international de haut niveau avec peu d'artistes polivalents. Félicitations à ceux-ci. Ce fut une magnifique soirée que nous recommandons chaudement. Prise en charge impeccable, repas de très bonne qualité et spectacle original. Juste une petite remarque: pendant le repas le show sur l'écran pourrait être moins bruyant (en mangeant, une douce musique est toujours appréciée).”
Sunset strolls in Chania, Cretan wine with a sommelier, organic 3-course dinner, sheep-milk ice cream, and raki nightcap.
“Thought we were just going for a wine pairing dinner and view of the sunset. We were the only couple signed up so our guide Manos gave us a private tour. Man's was so enjoyable to be with. He took us the parts of Chania behind the waterfront to show us "local Chania" and how it has changed. The viewpoint to watch the sunset was the best. Only the locals seem to go here. The pairing dinner at the end was excellent. Each course of the meal was not large quantities but each course was exceptional and we were full and satisfied by the end. We had just finished a…”
