Discover the true essence of Crete going fishing with a local fisherman

Step into Crete the way it has always been known—by the sea, at dawn, with salt on your skin and stories older than the boat itself. Join a local fisherman and see the island not as a visitor, but as a companion, learning the quiet rhythms of the Aegean where patience, skill, and respect for nature still matter more than speed or spectacle.

Highlight of our vacation This was a highlight of our 2-week vacation - highly recommended! Our amazing driver, Yanni, provided colourful descriptions of the different spots of the tour, Greek & Cretan history, and life in Crete. We learned so much at each stop and appreciated the warmth and authenticity of the local partners who shared their knowledge. For our group of 8, the tastings were well-organized, delicious, and we never felt rushed. Absolutely worth the ticket price.

Fun Day in Crete This was a very fun tour. We first stopped at a bee farm, where the proprietor showed us how to make lip balm from bee's wax. We then visited an olive oil factory and tasted three of their olive oils after a tour the production facility. The last stop was a small family owned wine production factory and distillery. There we tasted 3 wines and a shot of raki. Lunch was then provided before we were returned to our hotel. The tour lasted 6 hours, and we had a great time.

Immersing Into Crete’s Products Favorite tour in Crete, especially if you like cultural tours! We go to learn so much about the different products produced from Crete and their history. Additionally, I was able to make purchases for souvenirs to bring back and I liked knowing that my purchases were handmade and supporting local businesses!

Would thoroughly recommend We had a wonderful day on this tour. The soap makers were so informative and passionate about their craft. The shop is beautiful with very affordable quality products. The olive tasting and tour was very informative and the olive oil delicious The vineyard and wine tasting was just perfect. It was so good to meet the man and his family who make the wine with such dedication. They were a delight to meet. Finally lunch in a small village was a feast and was accompanied by more wine ! It was a lovely opportunity to get to meet our fellow travellers. Finally our driver was both well informed and very funny, All round great value
