Our group of 6 just returned froma Aegean cruise on The Marina and one of the highlights was a 7 hour tour of Crete from Lefteris. he is passionate in his love of Crete and extremely knowledgeable. Taxis on Crete can only hold 4 people so he arranged a 2nd car driven by his friend, George. Lefty has a great... More

When we were told by people who have been to Chania, Crete that there was nothing to see there, I decided to do my own research. Why would Royal Caribbean choose Chania as one of the destinations if there's nothing there? In googling, I found Lefteris! I went with my instict to get him as our taxi driver and told... More

On a recent cruise, four of us hired Eleftherios Nikiforakis Taxi Tours for a 6-hour tour from the port of Aghios Nikolaos to Knossos near Iraklion, which is an hour’s drive from the port. So our time on Crete was mainly spent at Knossos, which is the main site on the island. It is important to know that currently, private... More

Lefteris already was booked so he hired Yiannas to be our tour guide. Yiannas was wonderful. He was calm, drove extremely well, knew so much about the history and flora and fauna of Crete. He spoke wonderful english as well. He took us to The Aptera Ruins, To an old Monestary, to Chania to see the Central Market, for a... More

Lefteris provided us with the best tour of Crete. We all agreed that this tour was the highlight of our trip. Lefteris was an excellent guide. We enjoyed going to eat where the locals go. Highly recommend this tour. FANTASTIC. More

We hired Lefteris to drive us to and from the Samaria Gorge. Unfortunately, I was unable to go due to illness, but my husband and our friends could not say enough good things about him. He was prompt and friendly, and throughout the trip pointed out different sights. He made sure they knew that if they had any trouble hiking... More

Booked a day with Lefteris so we could see some of the real Crete. We spent 6 1/2 hours and it was delightful. Saw the countryside outside of Chania and visited a monastery, olive grove/factory (and more) and had road side surprises. Lunched at a little cafe and the food was delicious. Picked his brain a bit regarding schools, laws,... More

We spend several hours with Lefteris and had a very nice day in the Heraklion aread. The Knossos Palace and Archeological Museum were on strike, so Lefteris took us to the Venetial port, the market (where we also had some drinks and Lefteris bought us some local pastries), the we visited Kazantsakis tomb, and then went on a nice drive...

I recently stopped in Crete for one day on a cruise (Chania), and had made arrangements with Lefty for a half day tour of Crete. I found him online... mentioned numerous times throughout Trip Advisor and Cruise Critic...all with glowing reviews, and now I know why....LEFTY IS AMAZING! First of all, I had booked a private tour for 4 people.... More
