About the activity

Enjoy a scenic, fun, and interesting ride as you explore some of the best natural and historic spots of an ancient Greek island on this amazing guided 4x4 tour around east Crete toward Milatos Cave, Plaka, Elounda, and Agios Nikolaos! With beautiful beaches, a vibrant nighlife, and mesmerizing ancient sites, eastern Crete is the place to go for a varied vacation. Milatos Cave, for example, is an amazing historic site made up of a limestone cave system that contains a church with relics over 200 years old. There's also Spinalonga, an islet just off the coast of Crete, sitting in a deep blue sea, which you can see from the traditional village of Plaka, and much more.

On the day of your guided 4x4 tour around east Crete toward Milatos Cave, Plaka, Elounda, and Agios Nikolaos, your instructor offers you a transportation service from around Malia, Heronissos, and Sissi (check special terms). Once you organize your pick-up place and time, you'll meet your instructor and board the 4x4 vehicle that will transport you throughout the experience. You'll receive a quick but thorough safety briefing, and your guide and driver will give you an itinerary for the day, since it can change depending on the weather conditions.

Once you're comfortably installed, it's time to go! Your guided 4x4 tour around east Crete toward Milatos Cave, Plaka, Elounda, and Agios Nikolaos will start with an off-road drive to Milatos Cave, where you'll stop and take a short hike to be able to reach the cave and observe its beautiful 1935 church, as well as collect wild herbs and take beautiful pictures of the gorge where the cave was dug. Then, you'll continue toward the traditional village of Fourni, where you will be able to walk around its picturesque alleys, take a coffee break (not included), and enjoy the scenery.

Next, it's off to Plaka, a charming fishing village where you'll get those stunning Spinalonga views, as well as learn about the history of both the island and the town. And it's not over, your guided 4x4 tour around east Crete toward Milatos Cave, Plaka, Elounda, and Agios Nikolaos will continue as you head toward Elounda, a coastal village where you'll be able to walk along the remains of the submerged ancient city of Olous! And lastly, you'll visit Agios Nikolaos and its iconic Voulismeni Lake, take a walk, or head to a coffee shop for a last relaxing break before heading back to your accommodations.
