Instead of a tour we went with Christos in his taxi. He owns the taxi and 78 olive trees. Up until a few years ago he supported his family well. Now it is hard. He has a wife, 15 year old son and 21 year old daughter. He was great and showed us lots of his island. Look at the hillside covered with olive trees.
He took us to the ancient city of Knossos. It was first excavated in 1878. We are learning about how the early archeologists basically messed up what they found. This city existed 4000BC. Are you kidding me?
Then he gave us a tour of the port of Herkalon with its wall built by the venetians, churches, and showed us how they harvest olives.
Sounds like you found the perfect taxi driver - one that would talk a lot. How long did it take you to tour around the island?
