Guided 4x4 Jeep Safari to the Sarakina Gorge, Crete

Explore the wild natural beauty of Crete on a Jeep safari and hike in the breathtaking Sarakina Gorge. Let this part of the Cretan Paradise enchant you!

Crete is one of the most precious gems of the Greek islands. And the best way to discover it is a jeep tour as it allows you to cover as much of the Cretan land as possible in a short amount of time all the while taking you to remote places where you can hike and explore at your leisure.
On this guided 4x4 Jeep safari, you will get to know charming little villages such as Kritsa or Máles. Don't forget to bring your camera for you will have plenty to capture at the Mirabello Gulf Panoramic photo stop just to name one. As with any respectable Jeep safari, this one also has an off-road part in the Kroustas Pine Forest. Let yourself be transported, literally to another world. Surrounded by the balsam of the pine trees, your group will stop for some time to collect herbs. A unique moment to get to know the Cretan way of life and its traditions before heading to the highlight of your safari, the Sarakina Gorge.

The Sarakina is not a very big gorge, only 1.5km long and 3-10 metres wide but it gives you a geological insight into the Kriopotamos riverbed. A sensory haven, far away from the outside world you will feel the deep connection between the elements that shaped the Sarakina Gorge to be what it is today. The perfect combination of towering rock walls that give way to the ever-flowing Kriopotamos that carved its way through the stone. Giving way to natural ponds, you can even hop into one and refresh yourself, finishing your hike with an elevated spirit and invigorated body.
Following your exploration of Cretan nature, a lunch stop will follow in a family-owned restaurant with a delicious Mediterranean meal and some local wine to recharge your batteries. Then off you go for a swim in the crystal clear waters of Southern Crete, by the seaside village of Myrtos.

Experience a day of exploration, relaxation, and culinary delights amid the captivating landscapes of South Crete! Book your spot on the guided 4x4 Jeep safari to the Sarakina Gorge, today!
