He kept us well fed and hydrated and kept the spirits up with lots of funny jokes. The sunset itself unfortunately wasn’t the best due to the weather conditions - but Kosta definitely made up for it. The evening ended with beautiful food in a traditional tavern and Greek dancing. Very wholesome evening and THANK YOU TO KOSTA!”

We took a cool picture in the middle of the trunk. Our next stop was one of the coolest wineries that I have been to. I loved that it also had olive oil. It was an amazing pairing. Good food and great wine. The next winery was a boutique winery that had really good wines and fresh food to pair with it. We saw how they made, bottled, and labeled the wine. The owner added…”

This was our first time in Crete, so seeing the olive trees--from the 3000+ year old tree, to the miles and miles of olive groves was very interesting. And the lunch at the Milia Mountain Restaurant was outstanding. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to spend a day near the port of Souda near the city of Chania.”

“We had a wonderful day visiting 2 wineries and an ancient wine press with our very knowledgeable guide. The wines were very good and food exceeded our expectations- absolutely amazing! The scenery was stunning and we enjoyed the tours at both wineries. Our only complaint was that this was sold to us as a private SUV tour however it was a small car. My husband and 2 adult daughters are very tall so it was a very uncomfortable car ride. I think the tour operator should clarify this before accepting the booking request.”
