What's the difference between the Self-Guided Itineraries & the Tailor-Made Itineraries?

Tailor-Made Local Experiences are food-oriented and include a customized itinerary that we create together through a 50-minute one-to-one zoom call. Exploring Cretan gastronomy is a wonderful way to learn about the agricultural/farming activities and the real life on the island of Crete, to taste Cretan products of premium quality and get in touch with the local food culture.

A Self-Guided Itinerary is a digital travel plan to explore the local side of Crete at your own pace. No need to search for what to do, what to see in Crete trying to estimate driving times. A self-drive guide takes care of all this!

All you have to do is download the digital plans in order to have them with you and use them off line while exploring Crete, at your own pace.

Why to use a Self-Guided Itinerary?

Are you a first-time traveler searching for things to do in Crete away from mass tourism? Are you a digital nomad planning to stay in Crete for a long time and don't where to begin?


A Self-Guided travel plan is a wonderful way to experience the local side of Crete without all the hustle. All recommendations included in Self-Guided Itineraries are carefully selected and they are constantly updated following the change of seasons. Make the most of every season in Crete and have the digital Cretan guides with you to wander around as a free spirit.
