What to expect

A trip that combines traditional Crete with its wild side. You'll drive through scenic landscapes and wander through the pretty harbour town of Agios Nikolaos – with an optional market visit. But then there's the twist to the tale with a visit to Amazonas Park nature reserve.

After pick-up at your hotel, you'll head to Agios Nikolaos, where you'll have a couple of hours to explore on your own. Pick up tasty treats or souvenirs at the street market, stop for a drink in one of the waterfront cafés or gaze into Lake Voulismeni, which local legend says is bottomless.

Next up, we'll head towards Mirabello Bay in the northeast of the island. Your destination is Amazonas Park, an animal refuge, where you will come face-to-face with some of the world's most unusual, beautiful and endangered animals. You'll also find out about their rainforest environments, and how we can help with conservation efforts.

    Market was very disappointing. In addition, the tour guide didnt take into consideration the implications of a 20 minute up hill walk on people who are less able to complete it in the very quick manner it was conducted.

    4 hours stuck on a coach to get there and back . Market not worth seeing but Agios Nicholas worth the visit . Nature reserve poor but good experience with the lemurs .

    Coach journey was fine, the market we were taken to was very poor. A couple of stalls with funky smelling clothing just in piles on tables, a further few stalls of fruit and veg. We were told the market would have craft items and souvenirs but there weren’t any. Amazonas park was good but very small and mostly just birds. We spent an hour of time at the park sat in the cafe waiting for the group.

    The market was very disappointing. I expected more a lot of cheap clothes and veg. I was hoping for a much bigger variety of stalls. It was just a flea market. The nature reserve was OK but very hilly in parts

    Too many pick up points and so ridiculous long transfer time - too long in agios Nickolas and the animal sanctuary took minutes to see - not value for money - use smaller vehicles and see more sights please

    The visit to Amazonas was brilliant, we didn’t realise that we would be feeding the Lemurs, so that made it extra special. The time we had in Agios Nicolaos was lovely, being able to explore the town and chill by the lake
