A posture, not a byline
We choose to foreground the method rather than a face. What matters, for a reader planning a budget or a property purchase, isn't who signs it: it's how the figure was obtained, when it was verified, and what it's worth. We claim no awards, no headcount, no founding date we couldn't prove. We'd rather be judged on our pages.
Our four working rules
Verified and dated
Prices, hours, temperatures, distances: nothing is asserted without a reference. We cross the ground with official sources — town halls, KTEL, public registries, statute texts — and each page states when it was verified.
We say no
When the answer is no, we write it. The bus doesn't go to Balos. Loutro has no road. An eSIM's “unlimited” is often capped. We'd rather disappoint you before you leave than on the ground.
We flag the uncertain
When a source is commercial, old or contradictory, it's stated in black and white. We distinguish the verified fact from the ballpark, and we flag when a figure couldn't be confirmed. You always know what you're relying on.
We update
Crete changes with the seasons: bus schedules sometimes vary twice in the same month, tavernas close, rules evolve. We revise the pages affected, and the revision date is the visible proof.
How we make a living
Some links to rental companies, accommodation or ticketing are partner links: if you book, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we write — including when we advise against an option. When we recommend something with no commercial link, it's a genuine favourite, and we say so plainly.
