Crete (Heraklion) Cruise Reviews

We opted to just walk into town to the main shops the easiest way is to turn right after being dropped off by the port authority bus, it is about a 15 minute walk past the harbour to the taxi rank then left turn up 25is avgoustou which is the main shopping street Again nice place to look around ...

– follow the yellow line on the pavement to walk from the port to the town – Watch out for dog mess. Hop on off bus available from port. ...

Saw some discussion about what to do at this port (Knossos/museum or town?). Wife and I decided on a nearby beach (Kateros Beach). Arranged a taxi to pick us up at the port and take us to the beach and back again. Spent 3 and a half hours at the beach and had an enjoyable time. 2 sunchairs and umbrella with a lockbox was about 8 Euros. Good service at "A Paradise Beach Bar" when we arrived. ...

Not a great island at all. We've stopped in Chania before and this time was Heraklion. Both rubbish, not picturesque and little to do. ...

We went with SGP Travel Services and were blown away by what Kostas prepared for us. He was able to accommodate our date change and even made some excellent suggestions when our day tour turned into an afternoon/evening tour. We fit into a nice, updated party van! He continued to impress us as he kept giving us food to try (local cuisines) and bottled water. He arranged a nice visit for us ...

Very long bus ride to and from, ruins were very underwhelming. Guide was not great either.Would not recommend. ...

Great informative tour. Crowded too many people at tables for lunch. Long drive too and from. ...

Not much of a tour--a walk through town, a small museum, and free time in the market square ...

Crete was gorgeous. After the huge let down we experienced at Athens (filthy, run-down, looked like ghetto or 3rd world, at least the route the buses took from airport to port, from port to city). ...

Lovely day driving around this pretty island. ...
