Knossos made more memorable by Fivos

The way Magda and Michalis organized our trip to Knossos was extraordinary. And their friend Katerina, who was our guide there, was truly in a class of her own. Without them, the trip to Knossos wouldn't be the same. We look forward to visiting Crete again and exploring the island with the team at Fivos.

As we strolled the ruins she pointed out all the key featur...read more

Unforgettable experience

Just want to say a huge thank you to Michalis for positive emotions and unforgettable experience. We spent amazing week with mum and meeting Michalis and his firm was the icing on the cake.

Really good people and even speak a bit of Russian, was a surprise for me and relief for mum so she could understand and participate in conversation. Thank you again, s...read more
