4x4 Off-Road Safari in South Crete - Sarakina Gorge, Kritza Village, Olive Tasting & Libyan Sea
Activity Description
One of the best off-road 4x4 experiences in Crete. Explore the mountains, gorges, traditional villages, and finish the day with a swim in the Libyan Sea. This adventure takes you deep into the untouched inland of Crete, along old Minoan paths, through protected forests, and into the heart of Cretan hospitality.
Your day starts with a visit to a local olive oil factory, where you’ll taste high-quality olive oils and learn about production methods. Then, explore Kritza, one of the oldest villages in Crete, full of charm and authenticity.
Drive through the magical Kroustas mountain forest, with scenery straight out of a fantasy film, before heading south to a remote mountain taverna. There, you’ll enjoy a traditional Cretan lunch with spring water and homemade food — far from civilization.
In the afternoon, reach the breathtaking Sarakina Gorge, where you can hike depending on your comfort level and fitness. Finally, relax and swim in the Libyan Sea at the peaceful village of Myrtos, before heading back.
