EXPERIENCE AND EXPLORE CRETE

Tailor-made individual & group trips, Guided outdoor activities

Connect with Crete in a way that goes beyond the typical tourist attractions and focus on an authentic, slower-paced and more sustainable form of travel.
While focusing on exploring the island’s lesser-known places, the travellers are taking part in more environmentally-friendly and sustainable experiences that have a positive impact on the world.

Explore Crete out of the beaten path

Alternative Crete is the way of experiencing Crete that moves beyond the usual destinations and activities.
Our passion for the great outdoors and active holidays, combined with the joy of sharing knowledge and experiences from the Cretan countryside, inspired us to create Alternative Crete – a local travel agency based in Rethymno, focused on sustainable and alternative tourism.

What ”Alternative” means to us

For us the term ‘alternative’ has a specific meaning. In Alternative Crete we do not promote the usual holiday mode, instead, we highlight the hidden aspects of Crete that we all seek—those aspects that match with the alternative side of ourselves.
Search for more authentic experiences, immerse yourself in the local culture and make your travel more sustainable.
