Overview

Your adventure begins with a safety briefing before riding along the coastline of Hersonissos and heading off-road into the mountains, passing through traditional villages and a historic monastery.

Continue to the impressive Aposelemis Dam, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the famous sunken village of Sfentili.

Visit to a traditional olive oil factory, where you’ll take part in a guided tour and enjoy an authentic olive oil tasting.

You will then stop at a beautiful countryside farm, where a freshly prepared traditional Cretan meal is served in a natural setting.

The most adventurous part of the route is the off-road ascent to the Cave, the highest point of the tour. Here, a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint combines with a unique cave setting that houses a small chapel inside, creating one of the most memorable moments of the experience.

The day ends with a short beach stop, giving you the chance for a quick, refreshing dip after the heat and dust of the off-road ride.
