    Louis

    Asked on February 14th, 2026

    Could you please confirm if the internal transportation on the tour includes washrooms?

    Transport
    • Epos Travel & ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      Regarding your question about washrooms during the drive, we stop every 1 to 1.5 hours. If needed, we can also stop at cafés, pastry shops, or restaurants along the way.

      Louis

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      March in Crete - is this a good time to visit or would another time be better?

    • Epos Travel & ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      March in Crete does not have the same atmosphere and summer feeling as May or the warmer months. For this reason, we would suggest considering a classic trip to mainland Greece, which is very suitable for this time of year. However, if you prefer Crete, we can of course organize it as a private tour, tailored to your needs.
