Agia Pelagia Quad Safari to Discover the Authentic Crete
Overview
After several years of working in tourism, we wanted to do something different. We wanted to create something personal, something that takes place in small groups and is nothing like a big organised excursion.
We wanted to give people the feeling to be taken by the hand of a local and shown the most interesting places, meeting their friends and trying their products.
With Quads we are able to take you to places that are not accessible in any other way.
It is our aim to offer you experiences that are far away from tourism and we work hard to bring you close to the local people, products, customs and history, hoping to create lasting memories. We will take you to see unspoilt nature and some breathtaking views.
To us it is important to create trips that are accessible to all the family, because the best time is spent in the company of our loved ones.
This is also why our trips are organised on a half a day basis, making it a great trip even for our youngest ones.

What To Expect
We start with a theoretical introduction and a small driving practise, before we take the adventure in our hands and the quads on the road.
Lonely tracks away from main traffic, in the midst of the most beautiful nature take you to a beautiful cliff path along the sea and later into the heights of Achlada.
Here we enjoy a breathtaking view over the surrounding area, before we continue to the abruptly abandoned ghost village Achlada. Find out more about the history, the traditional Cretan way of life and share a special personal moment with the last and only inhabitants of this village. Enjoy a walk through this village which is not accessible by any other means.
We continue, from the heights of Achlada, passing in between the mountains in breathtaking natural surroundings to Fodele, a traditional Cretan village, which is also called the village of the oranges and is the birthplace of the famous painter ‘El Greco’. Here you can explore Crete’s culture and marvel at its local handicrafts. Time for shopping or a visit of the museum or its orthodox churches is of course considered.
For those of you who like it relaxed there is the possibility to enjoy a fresh orange juice.
