Elafonisi, remembered.
An Elafonisi day trip from Rethymno.
Wir haben mit Way to Crete einen wunderschönen Ausflug nach Elafonissi gemacht. Die Organisation war perfekt und die Fahrt von Rethymno nach Elafonissi sehr angenehm. Unser Fahrer war freundlich, hilfsbereit und hat uns viele interessante Informationen über Kreta gegeben. Elafonissi Beach ist natürlich traumhaft, aber der professionelle Service von Way to Crete hat den Tag noch schöner gemacht. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine gut organisierte private Tour auf Kreta suchen!

We had a wonderful trip to Elafonissi with Way to Crete. The organisation was perfect and the drive from Rethymno to Elafonissi was very pleasant. Our driver was friendly and helpful and gave us lots of interesting information about Crete. Elafonissi Beach is of course beautiful, but Way to Crete’s professional service made the day even better. A clear recommendation for anyone looking for a well-organised private tour in Crete!

The sweeter side of Crete.
Stories from honey tastings and other food experiences with Way to Crete.
We had a wonderful food tasting experience in Crete with Way to Crete. The tour focused on two of the island’s most important local products: honey and olive oil. We tasted three different varieties of Cretan honey — carob, pine and thyme honey — and it was fascinating to discover how different their aromas and flavours were.
We also had the opportunity to taste Koroneiki olive oil through a food pairing experience, trying it with different local foods and learning how to appreciate its flavour, aroma and characteristics. Ernesto was our guide and made the experience very interesting, relaxed and enjoyable. He shared a lot of knowledge about Cretan traditions, olive oil production and local gastronomy.
A fantastic experience for anyone who wants to discover the authentic flavours of Crete beyond the usual tourist attractions.
We booked a private wine and honey experience with Ernest and it was an exceptional day. From communication to timely pick up and seamless journey. We had enough time to learn about the honey making, enjoy cheese and views and then on to the vineyard small group tour. It was well organised and informative and in a beautiful setting. We tried 5 wines accompanied by olives and bread and Ernest took some wonderful photos throughout. 100/ recommend.
We had the pleasure of having Ernest as our tour guide, and he truly made our experience unforgettable. Ernest was incredibly generous and friendly, making us feel welcomed and comfortable from the start. His knowledge and passion shone through during our visits to both the olive oil factory and the honey factory. Ernest provided insightful information and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. Highly recommend Ernest for an exceptional tour experience!

Guests on the operator’s driver service and local knowledge.
Ernest is a nice, respectful and lovely driver. We had a great time there in Crete and could easily travel to other places thanks to him. Pick up times were easy to organize. He even brought us water every time. I would definetly recommend him to others!
Excellent, friendly service from Ernest who speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable about the island.
