“Autentikus hely és a hely hangulata. Több hagyományőrző táncos előadásra számítottunk és kevesebb a közönség(turisták)bevonásával történő össznépi vígadalomra!Az előadás fele csak arról szól,hogy mindenkit akit lehet a színpadra invitálunk és táncoltatunk,ez számunkra kicsit groteszknek tűnt,mindenki össze-vissza táncikált a saját stílusa szerint,miközben egy görög hölgy énekelt. Legyen inkább 1,5 órás a show de az tömören tényleg a görög tradicionális táncról és zenéről szóljon,ne pedig az enyhén ittas turista társaink szabadon választott táncikálásáról,görög zenei aláfestéssel!”
Spend 150 to 210 minutes at Alar Dinner Show near Hersonissos, with aerialists, singers, dancers, comedy, magic, fire acts, lasers, and a 24 sqm LED screen. Choose dinner and show or drinks and show. Optional transfers serve resorts across eastern Crete.

Join a six-hour evening from eastern Crete to Sissi village for an olive mill visit, honey and soap demonstrations, raki tasting, local wine, a wood-fired buffet, and live Cretan dancing. Pickup covers several resort areas, but long hotel transfers and mixed-language guiding can affect the evening.
“Vanuit Gouves hebben we twee uur enkele reis gehad om bij de activiteit aan te komen. Dit staat nergens vermeld en viel ons erg tegen. Daarnaast was er een Poolse gids die geen enkel woord van haar verhaal in het Engels heeft gedaan, pas bij de activiteit werden we in het Engels te woord gestaan. De groepen waren te groot, waardoor je het verhaal niet tot nauwelijks kon horen en zien. Wij als Nederlanders moesten maar aansluiten bij de Engelse gasten aan tafel, terwijl wij met genoeg waren om een tafel te vullen. Al met al erg jammer en krijg je weinig waar voor je geld. Het eten was wel…”
