About Us

Cretan Insider was born from a deep love for Crete and a passion for sharing its unique charm with travelers from around the world. Founded by a team of local enthusiasts who know every corner of the island, our journey began with a simple mission: to offer authentic, unforgettable experiences that go beyond the typical tourist routes. We started small, leading intimate tours for friends and family, sharing our favorite hidden beaches, traditional villages, and local taverns. The response was overwhelming, and we quickly realized that there was a desire among travelers for a more genuine connection to the island. With this in mind, Cretan Insider was officially launched. Our team is made up of locals who live and breathe Crete. We have a deep-rooted connection to the land, its history, and its people, and we bring this passion to every tour and transfer we provide. From guided explorations of ancient ruins and charming coastal towns to private transfers that offer comfort and local insights, we strive to make every journey special. Today, Cretan Insider has grown into a trusted name for those seeking an immersive travel experience in Crete. We remain committed to our original vision: offering personalized, memorable tours and services that showcase the true spirit of the island. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, we are here to craft a journey that feels uniquely yours.
