Program Description
Set off on an exciting off-road adventure and discover a different side of Crete. This full-day experience takes you through scenic mountains, dramatic gorges, traditional villages and exotic beaches, combining breathtaking landscapes with authentic Cretan flavours.
Your journey begins at Lake Kournas, the only natural freshwater lake on Crete. From there, you will drive through the village of Kournas before following an off-road route through the Agios Ioannis Azilakas Forest, renowned for its unspoilt nature and beautiful scenery.
The next stop is the Argyroupoli Springs, where crystal-clear water flows beneath ancient plane trees. Enjoy some free time to relax and take photos before continuing through the Moundros Gorge, with a stop at a natural spring offering spectacular views.
Lunch will be served at a traditional taverna in the village of Aggouseliana, where you will enjoy authentic Cretan cuisine.
After lunch, the route continues through the Kotsifou Gorge, offering stunning views of the Libyan Sea, before reaching Preveli Beach and its famous palm forest. Here, the river meets the sea, creating one of Crete's most unique tropical landscapes. A walking trail leads down to the beach, while guests unable to use the trail for health reasons can enjoy swimming at the vehicle stop.
On the return journey, you will stop at the impressive Kourtaliotiko Gorge, followed by a panoramic viewpoint in the Three Monasteries area overlooking Rethymno. Before heading back to your hotel, you will be treated to a selection of local delicacies – a perfect way to end your Cretan adventure.

Reviews
A very well-organized, interesting trip around the corners of Crete. I recommend it 👍
A day full of excitement. A superbly organized trip, allowing you to see Crete from the north to the south in a single day. We felt well taken care of, especially by our driver, Stanisław. A trip worth repeating.
