Crete · QUAD & ATV SAFARIS

Quad safari in Crete: ride rugged tracks to Milatos Cave, Prophet Elias chapel, and an olive oil factory, with lunch or dinner included.
“They are called experts for a reason. Everything was organized in the best possible way. Great staff, well-maintained vehicles. During the excursion there was also a lunch break in our case, we could choose between chicken gyros, pork gyros, or a vegetarian option. Definitely an excursion to do when in Crete. I suggest bringing a bandana to cover your face from the dust, as in the second part of the route there is really a lot of it. Anyway, they also sell their own branded ones for those who want.”
