EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friend and I booked a self-guided hiking holiday in Western Crete with Sophia of Evenos Travel to escape the Irish rain for a short period. Sophia organised everything for us, taxis, accommodation, breakfasts, private boat transfers even hiking poles. She provided “roadbooks” and maps of our routes and these were absolutely first class. Each hike was described from starting point, height gain or loss, where water is available (if any), estimated hike duration and much more. All we had to do was turn up and hike and we only went off route once and that was totally our own fault. The service and courtesy provided by Sophie was superb and my friend and I have no hesitation in recommending Evenos Travel for a self-guided trekking holiday in Crete. Patrick and William IrelandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hiking with Evenos Travel is without a doubt one of the best ways to explore Crete. Sophie is truly the heart of Evenos and guides specifically tailored walks and excursions with such beautiful expertise. She has such a love and respect for the island and her passion and warm energy is infectious. She enabled my mother and I to do some expeditions that we couldn’t have possibly done by ourselves but were able to thanks to Sophie. Not only that, we felt safe and confident under her guidance and saw some corners of the mountains that felt totally wild and untouched which was so humbling and honestly just a magical experience. Can’t recommend her enough ♥️Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently took a group from Women's Fitness Adventures, Australia on an exclusive hike with Sophia from Evenos Travel in Crete. We LOVED it and fell in love with all things Crete - the weather, the relaxed approach, the variety HIKING and the safety aspects for the group. Sophias approach fitted well with our group and her ability to lead the hikes, share stories and history and surprise us with the most beautiful locations and restaurants was amazing. Over the course of the 10 days we all formed a great bond -in the end it was more like friends hiking in Crete than having met only a week or so prior. Oh we also loved that it was about small business supporting small business. We can't wait to return to Crete!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Insieme ad altri amici ho trascorso una settimana fantastica nella zona sud-ovest di Creta. Sophia è stata una guida eccezionale, premurosa, molto professionale, preparata e simpatica che ci ha fatto apprezzare le bellezze della "sua" terra alternando percorsi di trekking (parte del sentiero E4, gole di Samaria, Aradena e Imbros) a bagni ristoratori Ha organizzato tutto alla perfezione , compresi pranzi e cene in ottimi ristoranti La consiglio vivamenteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Il trekking di gruppo, seppur impegnativo, si è trasformato in una meravigliosa vacanza per i panorami e gli ambienti selvaggi delle gole che abbiamo percorso, gli scorci di un mare incredibile dove fare un bagno ristoratore, le scoperte di piante e fiori, e indizi storici. Tutto questo grazie alla nostra guida, Sophia, che è stata una impeccabile professionista, accogliente e premurosa, attenta a tutti noi e all'ambiente. Ci ha fatto anche degustare la vera cucina greca in tante trattorie tradizionali con piatti tipici e di qualità. Speriamo di poter tornare per un altro trekking. Raccomandatissimo!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sophia ha organizzato per il nostro gruppo di 17 persone una settimana di trekking nel parco botanico di Creta, nelle gole di Samaria, Agia Roumeli, le gole di Aradena e la gole di Imbros. Tutte le escursioni sono state strepitose e sono finite con un bagno nella bellissima baia di Marmara. L'ultimo giorno abbiamo visitato la spiaggia di Elafonissi e il bellissimo museo archeologico di Chania. Non ci sono abbastanza parole per esprimere la professionalità di Sophia, la sua gentilezza e cortesia. Siamo stati coccolati dall'arrivo alla partenza da una guida veramente speciale. La consigliamo a tutti quelli che vogliono provare un'esperienza unica e che vogliono vivere l'isola di Creta in modo non turistico! Anche per quanto riguarda il cibo è stata una continua scoperta della vera cucina greca.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sophia is an exceptional guide. She knows the terrain; she knows the rocks, the trees, where the next shade is; every flower. She knows the history of every path. She is thoughtful and responsive to the differing individual needs of her hikers; she is flexible and always has safety as her priority. Sophia is someone you would trust with your life. She is also highly ethical as a tour leader, protecting a fragile environment, working in harmony with small businesses locally and managing relationships with all those who care for the landscape and the paths beneath our feet. We highly recommend Evenos Travel and look forward to returning for more walks soon!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been on several hikes with Sophie from Evenos Travel over the years and they have all been nothing short of wonderful. She is attentive to the needs of everyone in the group and is a font of knowledge when it comes to the local flora and fauna and geology of the area, making time with her educational, entertaining and always a pleasure! She's also incredibly organised and takes care of all the details to make the trip run smoothly. Evenos Travel : highly recommended for all your Cretan holiday adventures!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing day out on the Imbros Gorge hike with Sophia from Evenos. The gorge itself is an excellent walk, and the whole thing is topped off with a visit to Marmara beach which is incredibly beautiful and a lunch at a fantasic taverna overlooking the beach. Recommend the slow cooked goat, one of the best things I ate in Greece (and I ate a lot of great food in Greece)! The tour was very well organised, and Sophia is a super knowledgeable guide. Can’t recommend enough!
