What makes a holiday experience memorable and successful? That question is always the starting point of every conversation between the members of Cretan Paths team when we meet to design a new path, a new trip, an innovative workshop or a tailor-made experience for our customers. Is it the location? Does it have to do with the people we encounter? Is it the mood we are in or the sense of security and comfort we enjoy? Is it the craving for new flavors and the opportunity for us to try new things? Is it the thirst for knowledge and information about our destination? Is it the destination itself or the journey toward it? It’s all the above allocated according to our client’s needs. We approach the process of creation as if it was a fulfilling feast. Fresh ingredients at the right measurements, well cooked, interesting and stylish presentation and above all excellent timing in a unique environment.

Cultural

In our cultural tours we

incorporate all the key elements of history, art and tradition but we don’t stop there. We believe that its crucial to make the connection between the past and the present Cretan way of life. We urge you through workshops and activities in our tours to take part in the evolution of Cretan culture and leave your mark into the future of Cretan living.

Environmental

Cretan paths was one of the first travel agents in Crete to provide environmental eco tours. After all these years we realized that an environmental tour is not just information about the flora and the fauna of the island or hikes to picturesque remote locations. That’s why all are environmental tours are packed with activities and actions that educate and raise the awareness on environmental issues of the island and most of the times have an actual impact on the sustainability of eco responsible tourism. You can leave a green footprint while on vacation.

Gastronomical

Since the inception of establishing Cretan Paths, gastronomy played an important role in all our tours. Gastronomical tours though are very special. Full of activities workshops and masterclasses these tours give a hands-on experience like no other. A gastronomical extravaganza not only of traditional Cretan cuisine but Mediterranean and international favorites as well. Educational. fun and fulfilling our gastronomical tour is something you must experience in order to fully understand it. Real food, real people, a vacation highlight for sure.

Cretan Paths was established in 2013 with the main goal to help promote an alternative view of Crete. The basic idea was to shed light in to the relatively unknown mainland rural area of the Heraklion region. In order to achieve that we invented and planed interactive experiences that offer our guest travelers first hand experiences that connect them with the natural beauties of our island. Since then we have met a lot of exquisite people and interesting characters who filled our lives with laughter, love, memories and true friendship. That led to an amazing transformation, our clients become our friends and family. Their support and positive feedback become our drive to go on and keep on designing every year more elaborate and heartwarming experience tours.
