We decided to try out a safari tour as part of our honeymoon experience, we loved it. The tour guides were down to earth and very informative. The villages visited were authentic, as well as, the delicious lunch. The beach & dip into the crystal blue waters at the end was a the best way to end an amazing time! Book this tour, you won’t regret it!

Full description

Explore the “wild heart” of East Crete, undiscovered by tourism, where “time” seems to stand still. A combination of tar and off roads, will guide you from Ierapetra to the mountains of Thripti . A highlight of the tour is the stop at the summit Afentis (850 m) with an unforgettable panoramic view on both seas (Libyan/Aegean). We continue to Kavousi, where you can admire the oldest olive tree in the world (3250 years). In Mochlos, you can enjoy the "greek cuisine" in a typical tavern. Our trip continues through the vine yards and olive fields, among small chapels, towards authentic villages with their simple lifestyle (Sfaka, Tourloti, Lastros). To end this adventures day, refresh yourselves in the crystal clear water at the bay of Tholos. An unforgettable day for nature lovers and adventurers
