★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 557 reviews · 4 hours · from $67

Guided quad off-road tour from Malia with village stops, olive oil tasting, and Aposelemis Dam views, plus Sfedyli and Mochos.

“The day out was fantastic! It is so worth the money for the amount of time you’re out on the quad bike. The off roading sections were incredibly fun, however, if you’re afraid of heights or get motion sickness easily this might not be for you. Some of the views were breathtaking and the journey through the winding roads was super fun. Not to mention our guide was so friendly and funny and made sure we were safe the whole time. Really recommend this activity, it’s a great why of exploring the less touristy parts of the country and seeing the hidden beauty of Crete!”

7.Buggy safari Crete (Transfer and lunch) analipsi- hersonisos

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 47 reviews · 5 hours · from $135

Buggy safari from Analipsi to Sissi with gorge drives, Minoa Palace, Milatos Cave, olive press, lunch, and beach time.

“Beide Guides waren toll. Die Route ebenso. Mittagessen (Schweinefleisch am Spieß/Pommes/Zaziki/Salat + ein Getränk) hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Die letzte Station mit „Baden/Schwimmen“ wäre interessanter, wenn es z. B. ein abgelegener oder besonders schöner Strandabschnitt wäre. Der überfüllte, öffentliche Strand ist jetzt kein besonderes Highlight. Trotzdem war es ein super Ausflug, den ich wirklich nur empfehlen kann.”
