We specialise in adventure and alternative tourism in Crete. Through professionally guided quad safaris, hikes and nature-based activities, you explore hidden gems and the authentic side of the island, with safety, quality service and sustainable tourism at the heart of every trip.
From 1211 to 1669 Crete was the Venetian Regno di Candia. What the Venetians built, from Chania harbour to Frangokastello, and how their rule came to an end.
Minos, Pasiphae, Daedalus, Theseus and Ariadne: the myth of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth, and how it may echo the maze-like palace of Knossos.
Crete has grown olives since Minoan times. Meet the island's ancient trees, the winter harvest and the modern mill, and see why oil sits at the heart of the Cretan table.
Two we organise from Kalyves, 18 km east of Chania: a Quad Safari through Apokoronas villages and olive groves, and guided hikes in the gorges, along the coast and on the summits of Crete.
Crossing the Samaria Gorge (16 km), walking the quieter Imbros Gorge (8 km), following a coastal E4 path, climbing Pachnes or Timios Stavros, or riding a quad off the beaten track.
If you like the outdoors, the gorges and the coast of the Chania region are hard to beat: Samaria and Imbros, the coastal E4 around Sfakia, Loutro and Sougia, and the villages and olive groves of Apokoronas on our Quad Safari.
