About

In Crete, Dolphin Express runs boat trips from Sofokli Venizelou 24, Rethymno 741 50, with a website at http://www.dolphin-cruises.com/ that carries the schedule and contact details. The operation is known for its boat trips, and first-time visitors should expect a working harbour operation in Rethymno, with departures tied to sea conditions.

A rating of 3.9 out of 5 from 232 reviews gives a fair picture of what passengers report. Travellers based in Heraklion, Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala or Elafonisi can reach Rethymno by road along the north coast. The venue sits on Sofokli Venizelou, a street that runs through the town.

Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many beaches are protected nesting sites. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March. Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer.

Island bakeries sell spanakopita and tyropita, and vineyards on Santorini, Crete and Paros produce local wines. Dolphin Express operates from Rethymno, and its 3.9 out of 5 rating from 232 reviews reflects what passengers report. Visitors should plan around the winter months, when services are fewer.
