Overview

Discover the beauty of Crete on a 4x4 safari that combines off-road adventure with spectacular scenery. Get behind the wheel of a 4-seater all-terrain vehicle and follow a convoy through the island’s beautiful countryside, traditional villages, and rugged mountain trails.

The journey takes you through the charming villages of Avdou and Askí, where you can enjoy a coffee break before heading into the Dikti Mountains. Follow scenic off-road routes through olive groves and vineyards, with a stop for a traditional BBQ lunch surrounded by nature.

Continue your adventure towards the Lassithi Plateau, ascending to impressive heights for panoramic views of the Cretan landscape. Descend across the plateau, passing its fertile fields and iconic windmills, before reaching the picturesque village of Psychro for a final refreshment stop.

Experience Crete beyond the usual routes, with a day full of adventure, authentic local scenery, and memorable mountain views
