Overview

This is not just another safari — it’s your invitation to **experience Crete the way locals live it**: slow, soulful, and with a touch of raki. While most tours stick to well-trodden roads, **we take the back way** — through mountain villages, olive groves, and hidden hilltops where time has almost stopped.

You won’t just taste olive oil — you’ll learn how it’s made by people who’ve pressed olives the same way for generations. You won’t just sip raki — you’ll stand beside the still where it’s born. From **Skotino’s shadowy cave** to **the panoramic serenity of Ederi hill at sunset**, this tour unfolds like a story, not a schedule.

With only **four guests per vehicle**, it’s personal. With **no big buses, no plastic charm**, and nothing rushed, it’s the kind of journey that connects you to the heart of Crete — one glass, one stone path, and one golden hour at a time.

What's Included

  • Transportation in 4x4 Jeep (4 guests max)
  • Light snack during tasting
  • Bottled water on board
  • This is not a full lunch experience — only a light snack is provided during the raki tasting.
  • Personal Expenses

What To Expect

Skotino Cave

This lesser-known sacred cave, dedicated in ancient times to Artemis, remains untouched by mass tourism. You'll descend a few stone steps to explore its vast, echoing chambers filled with mystique, myth, and cool damp air. A flashlight and a little imagination bring the shadows to life.Locals still whisper tales about the goats that never returned and the hermits who did.
