Crete is an island of character, a rebellious island, sometimes, but one that opens its doors wide before you even knock. Crete is like its mountains, crisscrossed by spectacular gorges tumbling down into the sea of Libya, to the tiny seaside resorts where you will relax like in a dream. Crete is the quintessence of the alliance between sea and mountains, many of which exceed 2000 meters, especially in the mountain range of Lefka Ori, (means White mountains in Greek - a hint to the limestone that constitutes them) where our hike takes place. Our eight-day tour follows a part of the European E4 trail along the south-west coast of the island with magnificent forays into the gorges of Agia Irini and Samaria for the island's most famous hike. But a nature trip in Crete cannot be confined to a simple landscape discovery even gorgeous. It is in fact associate with exceptional cultural discoveries. The beautiful heritage of Chania borrows from the Venetian and Ottoman occupants who followed on the island.

  • Greek-Australian Alliance 1899
    GREEK-AUSTRALIAN ALLIANCE 1899 - 2016 100th Anniversary Macedonian Front 75th Anniversary Battles of Greece and Crete COURAGE SACRIFICE MATESHIP PHILOTIMO 1899 -1902 – Greek Australians Frank Manusu (above), Constantine Alexander, Thomas Haraknoss, Elias Lukas and George Challis served with the colonial forces in the South African Boer War. 1912 - 1913 – Australian volunteers served in the Royal Hellenic Forces in the Balkans Wars. At the outbreak of the Second Balkan War in 1913, John Thomas Woods of the St John Ambulance volunteered for service with the Red Cross, assisting the Greek Medical Corps at Thessaloniki, a service for which he was recognised with a Greek medal by King Constantine of Greece. 1914 - 1918 – Approximately 90 Greek Australians served on Gallipoli and the Western Front. Some were born in Athens, Crete, Castellorizo, Kythera, Ithaca, Peloponnesus, Samos, and Cephalonia, Lefkada and Cyprus and others in Australia. They were joined by Greek Australian nurses, including Cleopatra Johnson (Ioanou), daughter of Antoni Ioanou, gold miner of Moonan Brook, NSW. One of 13 Greek Australian Gallipoli veterans, George Cretan (Bikouvarakis) was born in Kefalas, Crete in 1888 and migrated to Sydney in 1912. On the left in Crete, 1910 and middle in Sydney 1918 wearing his Gallipoli Campaign medals. Right, Greek Australian Western Front veteran Joseph Morris (Sifis Voyiatzis) of Cretan heritage. PAGE 2 1915, 4th March – The first Anzacs landed on Lemnos Island, in Moudros Harbour and were part of the largest armada ever assembled at that time. The island served as the main base of operations for the Gallipoli Campaign, including hospitals. In the waters around Lemnos and the island’s soil now rest over 220 Anzacs.

  • Samaria - Hora Sfakion - Paleochora - Chania - Knossos 15 - 23 SEP 2018 (9 Días) V2470
    Creta Samaria - Hora Sfakion - Paleochora - Chania - Knossos 15 - 23 SEP 2018 (9 días) V2470 Tamaño del grupo: mediano (6 - 10 pax) Creta, una Isla entre Europa y África. La isla más grande de Grecia separa el mar Egeo del mar de Libia, marcando la frontera entre Europa y Africa, situación estratégica que dio a la isla su mayor esplendor durante la llamada civilización minoica. Esta civilización pre-helenística construyó una zona de influencia marítima, basada en su poderosa armada, que alcanzó todo el Mar Egeo, la Grecia peninsular, Asia Menor, Sicilia, etc. con intensos contactos comerciales y culturales con Egipto. Durante esta época, Creta tuvo una agricultura y orfebrería avanzadas, grandes infraestructuras y un comercio extraordinario. Se construyeron palacios como los de Festos y Knosos. Después, tras estos siglos de brillo propio, Creta se diluye en el imperio helenístico y posteriormente en el romano. La salvaje costa suroeste. Las llanuras fértiles del norte de la isla contrastan con la abrupta costa sur, que acusa los efectos de siglos de terremotos –quizás también la causa de la abrupta caída de la civilización minoica - En la costa sur, las “Montañas Blancas” albergan alguno de los rincones naturales más espectaculares del mediterráneo, como el Desfiladero de Samaria, el mayor de Europa, o las gargantas de Imbros o Aradena. Nuestro viaje se centrará sobretodo en el suroeste de la isla, siguiendo parte de la impresionante ruta costera que recorre todo el litoral. A nuestro paso podremos disfrutar de acantilados, playas solitarias y pequeños pueblos llenos de encanto e historia a los que sólo se puede llegar caminando o en barco.

  • Crete in Spring 2018 Lead by Fiona Dunbar a Greentours Trip Report
    Crete in Spring 2018 Lead by Fiona Dunbar A Greentours Trip Report Friday 6th April Arrival After an early start at Gatwick, we arrived in Crete only a little late. Ian Hislop was on our flight, presumably on his way out to stay with his wife, author of such Cretan Aga sagas as ‘The Island’. Driving along, the countryside was markedly lush and green compared to some years. The Robinia pseudoacacia was dripping in white blossom, the Judas trees with pink. There were acres of yellow, and yellow and white, Chrysanthemum coronarium. We enjoyed a welcome but late lunch at a taverna in the village of Armeni instead. The saganaki or fried cheese was made with the cooks’ own freshly prepared, mild goats cheese. The garden centre next door was quite a pull, too! As we gained altitude we looked out over hills covered with fig, gorse, Quercus pubescens, Asphodeline aestivus and almost fluorescing lime green Giant Fennel, in between the groves of olives and small fields. Having been greeted by Herakles in Spili with glasses of cold water and quince in honey, we settled into our rooms. Some walked down the track below. There was a fine stand of tall purple broomrapes on the nasturtiums in Heracles garden. We reconvened in the breakfast room and strolled over the road to Costas and Maria’s taverna, almost hidden by trailing vines and flowers. Most of us tried the rabbit in lemon sauce – tender and tasty. It was Good Friday, and as I headed to bed I could hear a Scops Owl calling.

  • Crète 12 Jours
    Crète, voyage au pays des mythes Grèce Code voyage : GRCLP0002 Randonnée liberté • Voyage itinérant 12 jours • 11 nuits • Rien à porter • Niveau : 2 / 5 Berceau de la civilisation minoenne, patrie des dieux - au premier rang desquels, Zeus, qui y passa sa jeunesse, elle émerge de la Méditerranée tel un vaisseau à la proue tournée vers l’orient. Elle se déploie d’est en ouest sur 260 kilomètres, partageant la grande bleue en mer Egée, au nord, et mer de Lybie, au sud. Ile de soleil, aux criques encore désertes, aux gorges encaissées, ombragées et sauvages, aux villages pittoresques, aux coutumes et traditions restées intactes, la Crète voit pourtant déferler chaque été nombre de touristes sur ses plages les plus célèbres de la côte nord... Notre circuit échappe à cette frénésie en explorant les côtes secrètes et envoûtantes des montagnes du sud-ouest de l’île, mêlant histoire et nature, montagne et baignades, authenticité et confort. Points forts • Chania (La Canée) : la plus belle ville de Crète • Les gorges de Samaria, d’Agia Irini et d’Aradena • L’accueil authentique dans les pensions de montagne et les villages en bord de mer • L’alternance de marche, baignade, détente et visites !

Having experienced an amazing warm welcome as she travelled through the ancient kingdoms of Egypt, Jordan, and Israel in the late 1980’s, a passion was born to connect with other likeminded travellers and share these amazing experiences. In 1996 there was a keystone moment when Innovative Travel had the privilege of Egypt based Elhamy ElZayat joining Innovative Travel, and he later became a Director, expanding on his role of local representative in Cairo. This coincided with Elhamy being appointed as Honorary Consul General for New Zealand to Egypt. He was later awarded the Queen’s Birthday Honor, NZ Order of Merit, MNZM by former Prime Minister Helen Clarke, when the NZ Embassy opened in Egypt in the late 1990’s. Robyn Galloway, MD & Elhamy ElZayat MNZM, Innovative Travel’s Cairo based Director & former Chair of the Egyptian Tourism Federation As CEO of one of Egypt’s largest tourism companies, Elhamy and Robyn worked collaboratively with the Innovative Travel team, to further expand our local networks through the Middle East, Mediterranean, Asia, Europe and East Africa. These networks now include diplomats, local operators, and further professional networks; all of whom work together to create a stable and unforgettable holiday experience.
