Do this because
You'll feel the rumble of your 4x4 as you climb Crete's rural mountains on this off-road adventure
There's a chance to sample local treats like fresh goats cheese and the purest olive oil
You'll get a really good understanding of local Greek mythology tales about Zeus, the god of the sky
It'll be just a small group of you tucking into a typical Cretan lunch with wine at a local taverna
Your local guide's an expert on these mountains – they'll tell you about the history and topography
What to expect
Get ready for a 4x4 adventure that'll take you well and truly off the beaten track. Explore rural corners of Crete and immerse yourself in nature as you rumble through the mountains on dirt tracks. Experience the heart of Crete – its rich mythology, diverse flora and fauna, and fascinating local life. Katerina, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Crete's crumpled mountain peaks echo with stories from Greek mythology - Zeus, the Greek god responsible for thunder and lightning, was born in a cave in Crete's mountains, and it was here on Crete that Theseus slayed the minotaur.'We start with a drive along scenic paths and olive groves, passing ancient relics as we climb through Crete's hills. We'll then call in at a small village where you can sample raki and olive oil with the locals. Cretan olive oil is prized for its purity and flavour, as well as its high polyphenol content and low acidity, which make it very healthy.From here, the real off-road adventure begins as we rumble into the mountains and follow an ancient trail used by shepherds to reach flocks high in the summer pastures. In simple shepherd's huts, fresh goat milk is used to make a tasty homemade cheese. Next, we'll visit a family-run taverna for a typical local lunch – a vegetarian option is also available – with unlimited wine. You'll discover another side of Crete with professional and informative drivers who will tell you all about their island - from local life and history to wildlife and cuisine.

It was money well spent and a great full day from start to finish. My 10 year old and I learnt so much thanks to guide, Jason as he took us around the mountains offering tons of facts and information about the island and ways of life. We can't wait to indulge the cheese bought from the shepherd, Yanis and honey from the farm. Super lunch too. Most definitely a highlight on our trip to Crete.

We had a great time on the 4x4 mountain tour! Our guide, Joseph, was fantastic - really friendly and extremely knowledgeable, stopping along the route to point out native plants and fruits for us to smell or taste. The planned stops were fab, we loved learning more about local life in the mountains! And the trip down to Zeus Cave was also great, despite the hot climb to get to the entrance! Definitely worth booking this trip for a day of spectacular views and culture.

Had a brilliant . only planning to do 1 excursion I recommend doing this one. Geoff is amazing, not only feel safe throughout he is so informative, engages everyone & I've already recommend friends & family including other solo travellers who are planning to visit not to miss out. The walk to Zeus cave is a little steep but there's shade & can do at your own pace, it is definitely worthwhile. Every stop along the way was so good, the village of Krasi, Lassithi Plateau, the Goats, views ??

This is really one of the best options if you want to discover more about Crete. We had Geoff as our driver, he is so knowledgable about the area and the environment of Crete. We really enjoyed the day. Advice though, pack light, if your 4x4 is full, they’re not a lot of space for bags! We were lucky as we had 7 people not the full capacity of 8 Finally, the walk to Zeus cave is steep, but well well worth it. Take some water if you are going to do it!

The trip was interesting & varied, with a lot packed in to the day.The guide was very entertaining and a fantastic driver on the narrow, winding mountain roads. The difficult walk up to Zeus’s Cave was optional and there was still plenty to do and look forward to without that. The only negative aspect was the car arrived nearly 15 mins late to our hotel and we were beginning to worry that we’d been forgotten or that I hadn’t made the booking correctly.

Visited many small villages in the mountains, there was olive oil and raki tasting, plenty of stops for pictures across the plateau and mountains. We got the chance to see vultures , many sheep and goats and the cats of Crete! Included a stop at the Zeus caves which was quite strenuous but worth it and then ate lunch at a local taverna which was fantastic. Very enjoyable experience.

Lunch at the Greek taverna was very delicious. Geoff, our guide, was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Cretan life and traditions. He also had a great sense of humour and kept us well entertained throughout the day. A highly recommended, enjoyable trip.

we really enjoyed the day but unfortunately were the only group on the day to not have the typical 4x4 vehicle. Instead we were in a 4x4 Mercedes vito people carrier. hence the experience wasn't quite what we wanted/expected. The day however was still fun, very informative and interesting. Lunch seemed quite simple but was tasty and plenty of wine included.

We visited authentic Crete villages, explored rugged off beat tracks across the mountains, had a lovely lunch in a Taverna and saw some amazing vistas. "Spartacus" our trusted Land Rover was exceptionally clean and made light work of climbing steep tracks. Overall a must-do trip that makes a great day out.

An excellent day out - Darrel was a fantastic guide with great knowledge of the area and its history. The lunch was amazing (and suitable for gluten free). We enjoyed visiting Zeus' birthplace, and exploring traditional Cretian towns. Plenty of opportunities to try local cheese, honey, raki, and olive oil (all very tasty). The group was small (8 people in total). Easily our best excursion of the holiday! A must do when in Crete. You can find out more by searching 'Safari Club Crete' on Google.

The overall experience really gives you a view of Crete you don't get within the usual tourist locations. Geoff our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and kept us all entertained throughout the day. Geoff and his view of the island and its people was the best part of this excursion and we highly recommend it anyone visiting the island. I wouldn't recommend this excursion to anyone who struggles mobility as there is some walking to do, and the tracks can be a tad rough.

Trip to olive oil factory I found pointless for the type of experience offered although other passengers thought differently.

We appreciated the opportunity to see aspects of Crete we would not normally see. Our guide showed us some beautiful areas of the island that were definitely off the beaten track. We saw goats and sheep, beautiful views and a mountainside church. The eagles were especially impressive. The lunch was excellent.

What a brilliant day! Gary was very knowledgeable and kept us all engaged for the whole day. Easy to book online and pick-up from our hotel was exactly on time. Great to explore the lesser seen parts of Crete and a lovely lunch at a traditional taverna. Highly recommend!

Darryl, the guide made this experience a brilliant one. He was very informative and easy going. Taking us off the beaten track in the land rover visiting little villages and taking in some breathtaking views as we climbed further up the mountain. We had lunch at a taverna which was lovely. It was well worth the money we paid for the trip.

We were very impressed with our guide Daryl who shares with us his passion for the island. The Vultures were amazing, the views breathtaking and the Cave was enchanting. Daryl very kindly returned our wallet that we had left in the landrover by mistake. Many thanks ????

Our driver/guide, Darrell, was excellent. Knowledgable and funny in equal measure. After we all introduced ourselves, Darrell remembered all our names - and used them. He gave us info on the flora, fauns and geology of the island. Excellent lunch with local produce at a typical taverna. Recommended

stunning views, amazing stops, a taste of some excellent cuisine in the Greek mountains, and the guide and his informative commentary and stories were second to none. Only comment - TUI need to be clear that this is not suitable if you fear heights. The drops are terrifying and I’m okay with heights
