“Guide was very experienced and funny. The views were gorgeous. Lunch was delicious with red, white wine and of course Raki. Our team was the best. You should definitely take this safari. No regrets!”
Four hours on a quad through Crete’s north-coast back roads, with a dam lake cafe, Prassano Gorge, and views over Rethymno.

White Mountains 4x4 safari from Chania with Mitato shepherd hut, photo stops, and a filling Cretan lunch on the way back through Therisso Gorge.
“Promised a local guide but ended up with an American who knew very little about Crete history, flora and fauna, environmental challenges. We learnt very little. We tried to ask him questions but he was polite but not at all friendly. The second guide was English and equally had no passion about Crete.”
