Cretan 4x4 adventure from Rethymnon

Green & Fair
experiences


4.7/5

Excellent
659 reviews

Go off-road on a 4x4 adventure that will take you well and truly off the radar. You'll bump down dirt tracks, bounce over potholes and drive through blink-and-you-miss-them villages. Plus, you'll tick off plenty of must-sees on the way. Your driver actually doubles up as a guide, giving you the insider's track on Crete's hidden gems as you go.

You'll kick off this full day tour just as you mean to go on – driving along country roads and tracks to experience the real Crete. You'll head for the mountains first, stopping off for photos and a coffee in a village, before reaching Spili, home to the 25-head Lion Fountain and some gorgeous views.

Now you'll really get to grips with the land as you go off-road towards the village of Kerame where you'll be treated views over the south coast. There's a beach nearby where River Kourtaliotis flows into the sea, Preveli Beach, which makes an idyllic spot to take a dip. A Cretan lunch then awaits before a walk between the vertical cliffs surrounding Kourtaliotiko Gorge.

    Great trip lots of fun going off road as well as some of the normal roads. Great views of mountains and sea. Jannis our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly giving us an insight to the island and people of Crete.

    Excellent informative guide (Antonios). Plentiful lunch and fantastic scenery. The olive oil tasting was disappointing at a taverna which would have been better to visit a oil producer.

    This excursion was really good, our guide was superb and we feel made the trip entirely with his knowledge of Crete. Being able to explore hidden parts of Crete both off and on road amongst learning about the history of Crete including local tales, geography, people and food really made this experience. Plenty of stops on routes with enough time to explore/eat. Our group size of 6 was perfect with enough room in the cars to really take in the sights and thrill of the drive. Ideal day out!

    Brilliant Tour to explore mountains and visit places that you can’t do unless you hire your own car. Yannis (German Guide) was incredible. He was so caring, friendly and went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and safe during the journey, his knowledge was outstanding. Even though he was born in Germany you can tell his heart is with Crete. We had lots of fun and laughs. Enjoyed seeing Prevali and Silli. Yannis couldn’t not have done any more to make this experience so good.

    Perfect day. Dramatic mountain scenery followed by iconic beach. Lunch was more like a dinner, full of local flavour and in a nice atmosphere. Guide was very knowledgeable and kept as interested all way long.
