About the activity

Discover the raw and untamed beauty of Crete on a 4x4 safari in Rethymno, an exclusive adventure that blends off-road exploration with deep gastronomic immersion. In the heart of wild landscapes, you will set off to encounter the authentic flavours of the island, far from the beaten tourist tracks. Between rugged mountains and villages frozen in time, this excursion reveals the soul of Crete through its exceptional local products and legendary hospitality, all enhanced by breathtaking panoramas of the Psiloritis Mountain. The White Mountains and the Cretan Sea provide a stunning backdrop as you traverse altitudes of up to 550 metres.

The journey begins with a guided visit to the award-winning Klados Winery in Panormos, where you will unlock the secrets of local winemaking before a tasting of indigenous grape varieties. Your itinerary continues to the Melidoni olive mill to taste the island's liquid gold—extra-virgin oil pressed using traditional methods. The highlight of the day takes place in the heights at the historic Halepa Monastery, followed by a visit to a "Mitato," a traditional stone shepherd's hut. There, you will observe the artisanal cheese-making process and might even catch a glimpse of the Cretan wild goat (kri-kri) or golden eagles soaring over the peaks.

This small-group outing, limited to 6 or 8 passengers per vehicle, ensures an intimate and secure experience. Accompanied by expert multilingual escort-drivers, you will travel in high-end 4x4 vehicles or all-terrain minivans perfectly equipped for rocky tracks. The adventure is accessible to families with children from age 7 and travellers seeking true authenticity. A hearty lunch featuring traditional Cretan platters in a family-run tavern in the village of Axos completes this day rich in emotions and discoveries.

This safari is available from March to November, offering ideal conditions to explore the Cretan mountains under a unique light. Book your 4x4 safari in Rethymno now and prepare for a total immersion into the heart of the traditions of the island of Crete!
