We have recently come across an excellent way to become acquainted with Crete - a personally guided tour with Tim Powell of Spirit of Crete.

Tim is a long-time resident of the island and can introduce you to parts Crete that most visitors never see: hidden archaeological sites, out of the way tavernas, stunning views and you’ll gain a real feel for the people and culture of Crete.

Tours can be arranged for one day or longer and planned to meet your interests so why not make a start by visiting the Spirit of Crete web site.

We stumbled across the Earworms programme and were so impressed we bought the Greek Level 1 programme even though, living in Crete, we already speak quite a bit of the language. We love it.

The musical background really helps get the rhythm of Greek speech and it’s recorded by native Greek speakers so pronunciation is spot on, too.

To try it now just click the musical note.
