Such a great experience, my husband and I spent the day with Spyros, learning more about the Lasithi plateau and the traditional Cretan lifestyle. This tour was really a highlight to our trip and really gave us such an intimate look into why the island of Crete is so culturally important to Greeks and the world. Thank you so much again to Spyros, you MUST take this trip if you are in Heraklion.
