Quad Safari Peninsula – Half-Day ATV Adventure in Crete
Embark on an unforgettable Quad Safari in Agia Pelagia, Crete, starting from the Peninsula Hotel and Spa. Your adventure begins with a safety briefing and a short driving practice session, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable ride. Once ready, we set off on scenic off-road trails, away from traffic, surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes.
Our journey takes us along stunning coastal cliffs, offering panoramic views of the Cretan Sea, before heading into the rugged mountains of Achlada. The first stop is a traditional olive mill, where you’ll discover the ancient art of olive oil production, from the Minoan era to modern-day techniques. Enjoy a guided tour of the factory, followed by a complimentary tasting of local olive oil and honey, a true taste of Crete.
Next, we visit the ghost village of Achlada, an abandoned village where you’ll uncover stories of the past and experience the traditional Cretan way of life. Meet the last remaining inhabitants and explore this unique, historical village, only accessible by quad.
The adventure continues through stunning mountain landscapes as we descend toward Fodele, a picturesque Cretan village, known as the birthplace of the famous painter El Greco. Stroll through charming streets, explore local handicrafts, or relax with a freshly squeezed orange juice, made from the village’s renowned oranges.
Join us for an exhilarating Quad Safari in Crete, combining thrilling off-road rides, cultural experiences, and breathtaking scenery. Book your half-day ATV tour in Agia Pelagia today!
