The Art of Bespoke Travel in Greece
Private tours in Crete offer the ultimate way to discover an island that is a world of its own—a continent in miniature where ancient myths meet modern sophistication. At Porto Planet, we redefine luxury by focusing on authenticity, privacy, and seamless execution. To truly “touch” the soul of this place, you need more than a map; you need a key to the hidden doors.
Authentic Private Tours in Crete: From Shepherds to Artisans
To understand the island, you must leave the coast and head to the mountains. Our Shepherd for a Day experience is a centerpiece of our private tours in Crete. Whether in the White Mountains of Chania or near Mount Psiloritis in Heraklion, you will walk in the footsteps of locals, learn the ancient art of cheese-making in a traditional “mitato,” and taste the famous antikristo lamb cooked over an open fire.
For those who find beauty in craftsmanship, our Rethymno Clay Workshop offers a tactile connection to the land. This journey combines the meditative art of pottery with a curated tasting of Cretan honey and olive oil.

Heraklion is a historic fortress city with layers of civilization. As the gateway to the Minoan world, it holds secrets that span millennia. According to UNESCO, the Minoan Palatial Centres represent a pinnacle of ancient culture.
The Heraklion Food Experience: One of our highlights is the signature Food Tour in Heraklion. This is a deep dive into the edible history of the island, a must-do during your private tours in Crete.
