Overview

Definitely one of our best off road-experience in Crete. Explore the mountains, forests and the gorge, enjoy the view & off roading in the inlands of Crete.

This amazing tour takes you to the inlands of Crete. After visiting a olive factory with tasting of the different qualities of oil we are heading direction the mountain village of Kritza. Along the old Minoan paths and civilizations to the unknown Crete. Pure Nature, wild landscapes and breathtaking views. One highlight on your tour is the protected mountain forest of Kroustas. than we heading over the mountains south where we will serve your lunch in a very nice taverna with mountain spring water, far away from civilization you will be able to meet our local host and feel what Cretan hospitality really means.

Next stop will be the amazing Gorge of Sarakina, where you can hike depending your skills and fitness.

A visit in Myrtos at the beach of the Lybian sea (with possibility to swim) ends this amazing day.
