Genel bakış
Explore the battlefields and memorials where the first airborne-only attack in history took place. The Battle of Crete is unique because it's the first attack in history prepared and performed exclusively by airborne units. It was a man to man battle where belligerents had little support from their far-flung bases. In this tour we will give a detailed account of the battle of Crete regarding equipment, units, strengths and weaknesses, defence and attack positions, the course of battle and various stories! We can focus on specific units, nationalities or any interest you might have and customize the tour. We will visit the main battle locations in western Crete at Maleme and Galatas, two Cemeteries, an amazing collection of artifacts from the battle and a couple of Memorials. Bring a 30GB USB stick to load some reports, books, diaries, maps and photos of the Battle of Crete!

Tour was enjoyable- our tour guide George was funny with his “Trivial Pursuits” and wealth of knowledge. We felt like we were family. We will be back to Crete.
This was an excellent tour, extremely thorough and George was a fabulous host. We left the tour feeling like we knew the Battle of Crete intimately. As well George took the time to show us things that were of special interest specifically to us, and went out of his way to also give us recommendations of things to do around Chania.
Us and some of our friends chose to go off the beaten track and do a history tour with our tour guide George. The chance of getting to know so much for such a historical event and having George doing an amazing job making this tour an experience for us was trully the best thing for the day for us! If you live history take this tour! You will not regret it!
Great history tour about a Battle, not widely known between the Germans and the Allies. George picked us up promptly, took good care of us and took us to various places where the events took place and gave us abundant information and amazing details. Thank you George for having a great time!
Magnificent tour, we spent all day exploring and learning so much about the participants and their objectives during the battle. George is a very good lad who knows so much about history and unless you pause him, he will keep talking all day!
Our guide, George, was extremely friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. His passion for history, teaching, and sharing stories about the past was evident during the entire tour and we all had fun and learned so much. George has a wealth of knowledge - along with a great sense of humor! - and is interesting and entertaining. Our time together flew by and the tour was exactly what I wanted. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Crete. If you’re interested in a tour filled with amazing information and stories about the Battle of Crete, this is the one. Highly recommended!
A history tour that we will always remember, our tour guide George was thorough and with abundant information about this significant battle. He will provide you with hidden details and amazing facts. Do not miss him!
This is a historic tour with plentiful information and insight about the war events that took place on the island during WW2. The guide is full of information about everything!
