What determines the cost of an excursion in Crete?🇬🇷
Prices for excursions on the island vary greatly, and there are many reasons for this:
⠀
✨Transport
For land excursions this is a sightseeing bus (cheaper) and a minibus (more expensive)
⠀
✨Distance
Crete is a fairly large island, so the price of excursions depends on the distance, that is, from the place where you are staying to your desired destination.
⠀
✨Number of people
Group excursions are the cheapest, and there are also excursions for about 10 people. They are a little more expensive, but they have their advantages, since you can reserve enough freedom for yourself when choosing an excursion program.
⠀
✨Entrance tickets
When comparing prices, it is also important to take into account that the cost of some excursions in Crete already includes entrance tickets, while in other cases they will have to be paid separately.
⠀
✨Guide
If you choose mini or individual excursions, then you have the opportunity to take a tour with or without a guide.

Christmas traditions of Crete🎄
In Greece, Christmas is celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar on December 25th. Christmas is celebrated here more than New Year. The main festive table is done at Christmas, mainly with family and relatives.

From the end of November, they begin to decorate the streets with glowing garlands and panels, and at the beginning of December, Christmas trees and fairs open in the central squares of the districts.
Local residents try to decorate their house, balcony and yard in a special way. Impressive decorations and countless lights create a magnificent spectacle.

From the beginning of December, the aroma of various Christmas baked goods begins to fly in the air. Most housewives try to make their own Christmas cookies Melomakarona and Kurabiedes, as well as Diples. Previously, melomakarona was prepared specifically for Christmas, and kurabiedes - exclusively for the New Year.

Closer to Christmas, some housewives bake butter bread - Christopsomo (from the Greek Χριστός - Christ, ψωμί - bread). While cooking, the hostess prays, reading the troparion to the Nativity of Christ.

For the Christmas table, they mainly prepare stuffed turkey or suckling pig. Holiday dishes often depend on the region of Greece. The turkey is mainly stuffed with chestnuts, rice, prunes and minced meat.

On Christmas Eve before Christmas, children go around to neighbors, friends, relatives and sing them the traditional Christmas song - “Καλήνεσπέραν” to get sweets or money.
