May 28 » Athens » Crete

Pickleball & Heraklion Walking/Shopping Tour

We'll start our morning with an easy transfer to Athens Airport and hop on the flight to Crete. No stress, just excitement for what’s ahead.

Once we arrive, we dive into Heraklion’s fascinating history on a guided walking tour, discovering the myths and legends of the ancient Minoan civilization.

May 29 » Crete

Afternoon Spinalonga & Agios Nikolaos, including public boat, entrance fees and dinner at local tavern

Take it easy this morning, enjoy some well-deserved downtime or wander around at your own pace.

Around noon, things get interesting as we head to the port of Elounda and set sail for Spinalonga, that small rocky islet right at the entrance of the lagoon. This place has some serious history. Spinalonga was once one of the most powerful Venetian fortresses on Crete and, impressively, it was never conquered. The high walls you’ll see were built back in 1579 and still stand strong today. By 1630, the fortress was armed with 35 cannons. Even after the Turks took over Crete, the Venetians held onto Spinalonga for another fifty years, making it a safe haven for Christians escaping the Turks. Eventually, in 1715, the islet was handed over to the Turks after a treaty. Fast forward to the 20th century, from 1912 to 1958, Spinalonga served as a leper sanatorium. Now, it’s deserted, but the old buildings make it easy to imagine what life was like back then.

After exploring Spinalonga, we sail back to Elounda and enjoy lunch together at a local restaurant, perfect for refueling after our adventure.

Next, we hop in vehicles and head to Agios Nikolaos, the capital of the Lassithi prefecture. It’s a beautiful town and one of the most popular tourist spots in Greece. The town’s highlight is Lake Voulismeni, a small, circular lake (137 meters across) right in the center, tucked beneath dramatic cliffs. The area is full of restaurants, bars, and shops, so there’s plenty to see and do.

You’ll wrap up your day with dinner at a local tavern, then settle in for another overnight stay.

May 30 » Crete

Pickleball & Olive Oil Farm Visit with Traditional Meal in Crete

This morning kicks off with something special: a visit to a local olive oil estate.

When we arrive, a friendly family member welcomes us and shows us around. First up is the old-school olive press from 1865. It’s amazing to see how olive oil used to be made, and the stories really bring the history to life. Then, we get to check out the modern olive mill and see how things are done today—so much has changed, but the passion is still there.

Next, it’s time for an olive oil tasting session. We try four different olive oils (with tasty appetizers, of course), and an expert shares tips on how to spot the really good stuff. Who knew there was so much to learn? There’s a chance to browse the shop, sample local treats, and maybe pick up a few goodies to take home or send to friends.

There’s some free time to snap photos, ask questions, or just soak up the atmosphere before we head out for lunch at a nearby restaurant.

Later in the afternoon, it’s back to the hotel for some Pickleball action: good food, good company, and a bit of friendly competition.

We’ll settle in for another cozy night in Crete, already looking forward to what’s next.

Crete Greece Pickleball Vacation - Evyssa Vacations

May 31 » Crete » Santorini

Once we arrive, the day really gets going with a sightseeing tour of Santorini’s highlights. We step back in time at the Akrotiri Archaeological Site, wander out to the island’s lighthouse for sweeping views, and then head to the postcard-perfect Village of Oia. Strolling along Oia’s main street, it’s impossible not to pause for photos, the caldera views are just that stunning.

After a tasty lunch, we check in at the hotel and get settled.

The afternoon and evening are yours to enjoy however you like. Maybe you’ll get lost in the winding lanes of Fira, find a cozy café with a view, or just soak up the sunset from a quiet spot. It’s your time to discover what makes Santorini so magical.

As night falls, we regroup at the hotel, ready for another unforgettable day on the island.

Meet George Kas

Meet George Kas, a renowned certified Pickleball instructor, tournament champion and dedicated Du Page, IL Pickleball ambassador

"My mentor and coach was the number one women’s player Simone Jardim who I was so fortunate to have as my instructor. Instantly I was captivated by its fast-paced nature and social aspects, I immersed myself in learning everything about pickleball.

I honed my skills through countless hours of practice, participating in local and out of state tournaments, and seeking guidance and lessons from top pro players and coaches along the way. I decided to pursue being a pickleball instructor.  I have completed coaching certifications, attended workshops and seminars, and continuously educated myself on the latest techniques, rules  and strategies.

Because I am passionate and experienced pickleball instructor with a deep love for the sport of Pickleball with over 8 years of playing and coaching experience, I have become a respected figure in the pickleball community. I am a certified Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) instructor/coach along with being a (USAPA) certified referee...."
