Amazing day out - we booked onto this day trip for 10th June. we had such a lovely time and liked that there were multiple stops along the tour and were given the freedom to explore and do as we pleased within that time! i picked up some items at the avocado beauty shop and we rented a pedal boat at Lake Kournas and saw some turtles and goldfish. very memorable day and lovely way to end our holiday!

Gifted guide and alright olives - On setting off on our holiday to Crete, one of our absolute musts was becoming more familiar with the local olive-scene, a massive part of Cretan culture. Initially our hotel said that no such excursion existed, but on flicking through some leaflets we found a tour to an olive mill run by Markidis. The tour also happened to include stops at Lake Kornos and the fresh water springs of Argyroupolis. First up on the tour was the springs. These were fairly unremarkable. Although fascinating, and located near some nice tavernas, the springs felt somehow artificial and very different to the photos advertised. A stop at the local village (and former city) of Argyroupolis was very nice, and revealed exceptional views and a chance to taste hand-made avocado juice from fruit picked in the village itself. Next was a stop at Lake Kornos. The lake is breathtaking. The water was clear, lovely to swim in and teeming with wildlife. We took a pedalo out to the other side of the lake and - after some searching - managed to see a few turtles and quite large fish. Finally, the trip to the olive mill was informative but quite brief, and at times the guide of the mill (employed by the mill itself) felt rather hostile in his answers. However, throughout the entirety of the trip our guide Yanis kept us thoroughly informed and entertained. He was stellar; full of local knowledge and constantly friendly and engaging. It was because of his quality as a guide that we went on another excursion with Markidis, which we also loved.

Worth visiting however don’t expect too much. Lovely landscapes but attractive just for a few hours. - Beautiful landscape, delicious food and a tiny turtles if you’re patient enough. Worth seeing but few hours will be enough
