WORDS FROM OUR PREVIOUS TRAVELLERS

Jeff Shewchuk

''I had the pleasure of travelling with Chris and Vera of PAREA Retreats to Crete in 2019. Let me tell you, it was one of the best experiences of my life. We went to amazing restaurants and ate authentic Cretan cuisine all over the island. They provided a lot of information about the people and the culture during our travels and even taught me a little Greek. We were able to explore Crete’s beautiful beaches and mountains with the highlights being Gramvoussa Island and Mount Ida. I hope I have the chance to join Chris and Vera for another trip to Crete soon as I wouldn’t want to go without them.''
