Full description

Rethymno Safari tour:

A unique experience begins with the sole purpose of adventure and fun. Initially, we will cross the village of Giannoudi to reach the Gorge of Prasses, where we have the chance to see the rare vultures that live there. Next we head to Fragma Potamon, a dam known for its unparalleled beauty, making it the perfect spot to capture some incredible photos. The village of Karines is famous for its hospitality and the traditions that remain unchanged in time. Our next stop is the Kourtaliotis Gorge, where we can admire the wild side of Cretan nature. Continuing the route, we will have the chance to stop and swim at one of the most beautiful and clean beaches of southern Crete Preveli. Preveli is an exotic place with a river and dreamy landscapes offered by the forest of palm trees. After enjoying the beach we will stop at a traditional tavern to meet the Cretan cuisine at its best, combined with unlimited pure Cretan wine. Our next stop is the historical village of Spili, with the famous lion-head fountains that pour cold water from the mountain all year long. Finally, after some beautiful villages, you will find yourself in the Three Monasteries where the amazing view of the city of Rethymnon will fascinate you.
After a day filled with adventure, culture, and natural wonders, our safari tour will conclude back in Rethymno leaving you with memories to treasure for a lifetime.
