Below are the 6 best shopping tours on Crete right now: what each one costs, how long it runs, and which kind of traveller it suits. Number one is the place to start.
A guided Heraklion day trip with open-air market time, old-port walks to Koules fortress, and 75 minutes at CretAquarium for $23.
“All aspects of the trip were great, it was a lovely day out!”
Knossos Palace and Heraklion city tour with a stop at a Minoan Farm. Guided walking, market time, and harbor sights in 6–8 hours.
Half-day Heraklion tour with Cretaquarium and the local market. Skip lines, see sharks and turtles, and enjoy real city time.
“The aquarium, the market and heraklion was all good unfortunately I felt slightly confused with the guide and felt uncomfortable on the transport. could have been better”
Guided Knossos Palace, Heraklion old town, and market time from Crete resorts. Skip ticket lines, but entrance fees cost extra.
“de Engelstalige gids was goed onderlegd!wat ik persoonlijk jammer vond is dat ze maar door ratelde...De wetenswaardigheden kon je niet eens verwerken...iets rustiger is ook goed en iets minder ook! ik persoonlijk voelde het als een" haastige" dag, maar toch genoten. voor iemand die minder goed ter been is , is het bezoek aan het paleis van Knossos erg zwaar.”
A guided day trip from Heraklion that pairs Knossos Palace with a history walk and Old Market time, with pickup and A/C ride.
“Knossos Palace was really interesting but there’s a lot of standing around and due to queues to get in and to see a certain part once in, you then aren’t left long to explore the full site. The Heraklion city tour was a disappointment, was 15 minutes of showing two things before you are left to explore yourself for 3 hours. Wouldn’t recommend this specific tour”
Private Chania highlights with hotel pickup, market tasting shopping time, and the stunning Agia Triada monastery.
“Driver and tour guide were flexible and accommodating. Extremely knowledgeable about historical and cultural facts. Michalis was a great driver. He was hospitable and knowledgeable. Maria used a microphone which made sure people in the back could hear. Highly recommend!!!! We had 10 people in our group and they took an interest in us and what we wanted to get out of the tour. Perfect day in Chania!!”
