About This Tour
Join the ultimate 4x4 off-road safari across Crete! This epic journey takes you from the serene, emerald waters of Lake Kournas to the Libyan Sea, uncovering the island's most stunning hidden gems, far from the tourist crowds. We start at tranquil Lake Kournas, then go off-road through lush forests to the cascading Argyroupoli Springs, a shaded paradise of cool, running water. Next, navigate the majestic Kotsifou and Kourtaliotiko Gorges, with breathtaking panoramic views at every turn. Savor an authentic Cretan lunch rich with local flavor in a traditional taverna. The day's highlight is Preveli Beach, a tropical oasis with a unique palm forest where a river meets the sea. Enjoy ample time to explore, swim in turquoise waters, and relax. The beach is accessible via a walking trail, with an alternative spot available for those with mobility concerns. This full-day immersion showcases the true landscapes, flavors, and soul of Crete.
