Sample list of available travel experiences to choose from
We call this a semi-custom tour because we only operate it in selected months of the year, only on Crete and Santorini islands. Also, the venues you will stay at are preselected, the offered travel experiences abide by our eco-friendly travel policy (i.e., no helicopter flights or jet-ski rides are offered), and some of the guided day tours and experiences may be shared with other people.
A sample list of offered travel experiences to choose from for this tour follows.
