Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Extensive archeological site with small explanation area - totally worth it for those who find Knossos too contrived.

    Wonderful place, especially when the weather is windy and the beach ⛱️ is not very good place to be... 5€ for having water slides, sunbeds are free and menu prices very reasonable!!!

    Omalia Olive Press is a perfect stop over if you go to the mountain plateau or if you come back. It’s super informative and impressive to learn something about the olive oil production. You can taste olive oil of course buy some or can ship to your home country. The staff is quite open and gives you all the necessary information without being so pushy in terms of buying. Great experience.

    Absolutely fantastic quad biking experience. We were collected from our hotel and taken to the quad bike meeting place.
    We had on road and off road driving experience visiting villages and an old ruined village.
    Definitely worth a try and I would definitely recommend.

    hello. at the agency everybody was really helpful and nice. we booked a one day trip to santorini from crete heraklion. Unfortunately that was not good. We travelled 12 hours but we could walk only 2.5 hours totally. once 1.5 hours and one 1 hours. it was too quick and it was a like a running up to the hill take some pictures and run back to the bus. . if you plan to visit santorini stay there minimum one night. During the trip the tourist guide was really nice and good. i can suggest them totally, but from crete choose a two days trip to santorini.

    Excellent experience. Great fun. The karts are good and well maintained and the helmets were clean.
    I went with one of my sons and husband who are very competitive and the guy was really good advising them on the best line etc. He even went out with them and was advising them going round.
    Really good fun and felt safe and well looked after.

    Quite a few photos not of Malia Port/Harbour, seems to be some confusion in reviews.
    Took a walk to see where we ended up and stumbled across this lovely little place, ok some of it needs tidying up, they're really missing trick in
