Crete’s inland mountain areas offer a rugged landscape with vineyards, olive groves, and small villages. This full-day jeep safari lasts about eight hours and begins with pickup within 20 km of Hersonissos. The tour is led by a local guide and travels mostly off-road on mountain paths and dirt tracks. Participants drive through river beds and bamboo shelter, crossing a river that may have water during April, May, and from mid-September onwards. The route includes a visit to a cave with local significance, requiring good walking shoes. The group stops in an authentic mountain village for coffee next to the church on the village square, with toilet facilities available. The drive continues through several small villages and green areas with herbs, olive groves, and grape fields. Lunch is served in a small mountain village known for its wide views. After lunch, the route passes through mountainous terrain and offers a notable view of Crete’s north coast. The tour returns to the starting point around 4 pm. The jeeps seat 4-5 people and may be self-driven under specific conditions. Gasoline, insurance, local taxes, cave entry, lunch, and pickup/drop-off service are included. Drinks during coffee stops and extra lunch drinks are not included. The tour runs with guides speaking French (Monday, Thursday, Friday), Dutch (Tuesday), and English (Tuesday and Friday).
