Off-Road Safari, Traditional Villages & Botanic Garden Walk
Overview
Our day begins early in one of the remote, traditional villages of Chania. Far from the city’s noise, we enjoy an authentic Cretan coffee at a local kafeneio and get a taste of a slower, more genuine way of life.
Right after, the adventure begins: with our fully equipped 4×4 vehicles, we follow unexplored mountain routes, crossing ancient olive groves, lush landscapes, and wild gorges. This off-road journey brings us closer to the raw, unspoiled beauty of Crete, with chances to spot wild goats, hawks, or even eagles in their natural habitat.
Along the way, we make stops at breathtaking spots for photos, short breaks, and traditional Cretan snacks — served picnic-style inside the vehicle.
As we climb higher, the views become even more dramatic, with the majestic White Mountains surrounding us — a sight not easily forgotten.
To close the experience, we visit the Botanical Park of Crete. There, we follow a 1.5-hour shaded walking path surrounded by herbs and plants from all over the world
