We went horseback riding with a private guide, had a romantic beach sunset picnic with wine and fruit and then Yannis took us to a local tavern on the beach for an amazing dinner. Yannis made us feel like family and we were very appreciative of his hospitality. I would make this tour a must do when visiting Crete.”

Capture Crete from the air with Axel at Petres Beach, combining private drone photos, videos, sandy shore views, and a relaxed one-hour session.

“Axel was INCREDIBLE to work with! I ended up hiring another professional who helped me with a dress and she brought her own photographer as well. They all worked together seamlessly to give me the 10 year wedding anniversary photos of my dreams. Having a drone included in photos will completely change them in every way! Trust me when I tell you that you will be so thankful you hired him!”
