Independent tour in Crete instead of excursion

[lynn-in-nc]

We'll be on a small ship tour with Ponant that stops in Crete.  I'd like to do a private tour rather than a ship excursion but I'm concerned that we may not know where we will dock until the day we arrive.  Has anyone had an experience like this?

Surely unusual not to know where on Crete you might go given that the island is very big (largest in Greece) and there are a number of potential towns where you could be docked or tendered probably on either the east or the west coast.

 

I suggest you contact the company and ask them.

it depends on time what you have for Crete. We rented a car for a day and traveled to Chania and relaxed on the beach in Retimno. Private tour is probably better though

These small ships don't always dock where they are supposed to.  The itinerary says Rythmno but there is also Chania. The only other small ship cruise we did was on Seabourn and it was a larger ship than the Ponant, and we had to skip one island entirely because of being unable to dock.  We decided to take a taxi on the day we arrive in Crete.
