Lately I have heard so much about Theriso and how great it is, particularly the food. It seems like it is a "must visit" on Crete. What do you guys think? Do you have any advice for me? I have been looking into Cretan cuisine and wanting to collect information for my next trip to Greece.
 
This village is super cute and worth a visit. I would take some time to walk around and really get a feel for it, and then stop in on a taverna and get a bite to eat. I ate there, but unfortunately don't remember the name of the restaurant.
 
Hello, auroracoor1 Hope you are doing well and enjoying your day, Yes you are right Theriso is the best place to visit in Greece because i also visited that place and I am very thankful to the tour guide that I hired in Greece and it only happened due to that guy, He was very expert and had all the necessary knowledge about places in Greece would love to hire him again and you can also hire him with the given link:

Hiking advice for Crete?

I want to hike while I am on Crete but I need advice. I have never hiked in Greece before. Any advice is appreciated! Some things on my mind:

  • Best Trails: I was thinking Samaria gorge and maybe one other during my stay. Ay advice?
  • Preparation Tips: What should I pack or prepare for these hikes? Considering the terrain and weather conditions, are there specific items (beyond the basic hiking gear) that are must-haves for Crete? What kinds of shows? How much water?
  • Local Guides or Groups: Do you recommend hiking with a local guide or joining a group for certain trails? If so, how can I find reputable guides or groups
Thanks in advance!

Advice for exploring the caves of Crete?

I'm planning a trip to Crete and I'm particularly excited about exploring the island's famous caves. I've heard that Crete has some stunning and historically significant caves, and I'd love to get some advice and recommendations from those who have visited.

Which caves are must-see and why? I've read about Zeus' Cave and the Cave of Psychro, but are there other hidden gems that are worth exploring? Also, what should I be aware of in terms of accessibility and safety? Are guided tours available and recommended, or is it better to explore on my own?

Additionally, any tips on the best times to visit these caves to avoid crowds, or any other insider advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to make the most of my cave explorations and would love to hear your experiences and suggestions!

Tips for Hiking the Samaria Gorge?

I'm planning a trip to Crete and am excited to hike the famous Samaria Gorge. I've heard it's an incredible experience, but also quite challenging. I'd love to get some tips from those who've done it before.

What should I pack for the hike? Are there any specific gear or essentials I shouldn't forget? How tough is the hike, and how long does it typically take? Any recommendations for the best time of day to start, or tips for pacing myself? Also, is there anything specific I should know about the terrain or weather conditions?

Any advice to help me prepare and make the most of this adventure would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Advice Needed for Driving in Crete

Someone told me that driving in Crete was pretty bad. I was thinking of renting a car when I got to the island, but I feel nervous about the driving. Is it really as bad as they say?

I'd appreciate any tips on navigating the roads, potential challenges, and general driving etiquette in Crete. Is renting a car the best option for exploring the island, or should I consider other forms of transportation?

I want to do some hiking but some of the places I want to visit are a little remote and it would be easier to drive - but not if it's scary!

Charming villages in Crete?

I'm planning a trip to Crete and, as an enthusiast for the quaint and the serene, I'm on the lookout for those off-the-beaten-path villages that captivate with their charm. I’ve heard that Crete is sprinkled with hidden gems, where one can truly soak up local culture and history amid idyllic settings.

Has anyone here ventured beyond the usual tourist spots to explore some of the lesser-known villages on the island? I'm interested in places that offer picturesque streets, traditional architecture, local gastronomy, and a warm sense of community.

I’d love to hear your experiences! Thank you in advance.
