The visit to the windmills and the mountain region was just fabulous. He’s amazing.”

Crete: Traditional Dance Show and Buffet Dinner with Wine

7.Traditional Dance Show and Buffet Dinner with Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 102 reviews · 3 - 8 hours · from $34

Review of Crete’s Karouzanos village dance show with buffet dinner, unlimited wine, music, transport, costs, and practical booking advice.

“Autentikus hely és a hely hangulata. Több hagyományőrző táncos előadásra számítottunk és kevesebb a közönség(turisták)bevonásával történő össznépi vígadalomra!Az előadás fele csak arról szól,hogy mindenkit akit lehet a színpadra invitálunk és táncoltatunk,ez számunkra kicsit groteszknek tűnt,mindenki össze-vissza táncikált a saját stílusa szerint,miközben egy görög hölgy énekelt. Legyen inkább 1,5 órás a show de az tömören tényleg a görög tradicionális táncról és zenéről szóljon,ne pedig az enyhén ittas turista társaink szabadon választott táncikálásáról,görög zenei aláfestéssel!”

Taste Cretan olive oil, five wines, and a generous village lunch on a small-group tour from Heraklion with hotel transfers included.

“Very disappointed that we didn’t arrive at the winery which you advertised to us at booking & payment. We expected to arrive at countryside Lyrarakis Winery. We thought we were ‘short changed’ by this as there was no information provided. The hostess at Titakis ,however,was excellent. It would have been good to have had bread or some snacks at the olive oil tour as it was a long day from then until lunch - we arrived for that about 15.45.just for future information. Filosofus was an enjoyable experience.”
