Escape the beaches and discover the wild heart of Crete on an exciting off-road 4x4 safari through the Dikti Mountains. Travel along scenic mountain trails, explore traditional villages of the Lasithi Plateau, and visit the legendary cave where Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, is said to have been born.

Along the way, experience authentic Cretan life with a stop at a traditional mountain farm. Take part in hands-on activities such as milking goats and taste freshly made shepherd’s cheese and other local products prepared by the farmers.

Continue your journey through breathtaking landscapes, historic windmill-dotted plateaus, and hidden villages rarely visited by tourists. End the day in a charming village square where you will enjoy a traditional Cretan lunch with local wine and warm hospitality.
