Shining seas, Minoan villas, excellent food and warm hospitality await us. This is a unique tour at a leisurely pace visiting one of Earth's most beautiful islands.

Crete is the gem of the Mediterranean, meeting place of East and West, and birthplace of civilization. It is a sophisticated land of art and architecture, yet a land of simple mountain villages and seaside hamlets. It possesses wildly fantastic topography and congenial natives.

This is the land of the Minoans, Minos, Daidalos and Ikaros, the minotaur, Zorba, starry skies and gleaming beaches.

From Chania to Heraklion, Phaistos to Sitia, Agia Triada to Zakro, we will visit the famous sites and museums, but also those places seen by few tourists. We will mingle with the natives in their villages and markets and will dine with them in local tavernas. And all around us is the sight and sound of the Cretan sea.

Join us for a millennium tour celebrating 5000 years of civilization. Cultural Discussion Topic: Minoan Civilization.
