Our Planning philosophy
Scheduled & free time
We know you want to see the sights, but we also know you each have unique interests. So, we aim to balance scheduled time with free time. You'll always have at least two days to yourself to make the trip your own or just enjoy hanging out by the pool with your new friends.
Breakfasts
The conversations and connections go long into the night on a Sapio Tour, so we try to keep our mornings relaxed. Our private chef will have breakfast ready by 10:00 most days. The early risers always have the option to use our full kitchens. Make yourselves at home!
Departure times
Late nights are sometimes the best part of a trip. So, our excursion days in Greece never depart before 11:00, leaving you time for a workout, a leisurely breakfast, or a dip in the pool before we head out for the day.
Included dinners
We've chosen special locations for our group meals, each with their own charm and unique cuisine: our welcome dinner by the sea, a traditional Cretan meal with music and dancing in the hills, and a fine-dining experience in one of Rethymno's top-rated restaurants When we're not eating out, our chef will create delicious meals at the villa

Each dinner offers options to accommodate all tastes and unlimited wine.
Theme Nights
We try to pack light, so theme nights are kept to a minimum. Each trip will have ONE party night with a simple theme, so you can save room in your luggage for all the shopping you'll do! There are also good discos in Rethymno, if dancing is your thing.
Optional Extras
Want to add a special touch of luxury to your trip? Opt in to a private yacht day. Want more adventure? Join a guided tour of the Kourtiliatiko Gorge. A winery and olive oil tour? Sure! We'll arrange the details. All you have to do is show up.
