We take you on a trip to the hard-to-find places and away from the crowds for spectacular views and the excitement of traveling off-road in the unique natural landscapes of Southern Crete – all in one day!
The safari in Rethymno, both on and off road, give ample opportunity to enjoy the flora and fauna of rural Crete, remote traditional villages and, of course, the chance to enjoy and capture the unforgettable landscapes of Crete. We also visit the famous Palm beach of Preveli for a leisurely lunch in a traditional village taverna and there will be an opportunity to swim in the Libyan sea and enjoy the Cretan sun.
In this excursion a driver is not provided therefore the clients that wish to participate in Discovery’s safari in Rethymno should be able to drive. In case of a non driver please advise us so that we can arrange for you to go in a jeep that already has a driver.
**If you are 4 pax you take your own jeep, if you are 2 pax you share the Jeep with another 2 pax.
The departure is at your hotel.
The guide is leading the way on the biggest vehicle and the 4×4 Jeeps are following in a row.
We head on the road to Amari and the 1st village we come across is Prasses.
Coming next is the dam of the Rivers and Saint Antony’s gorge.
We continue at an altitude of 700 meters, exploring the outskirts of Spili village, descending towards South Crete.
There will be plenty of time to enjoy some swimming and have lunch in a local tavern of the South.
On the way back, we will stop to take some photos at the imposing gorge of Kourtaliotis.
In this case you will be placed in a 4-seat Jeep, where you will be able to drive.
Inform us regarding your nutritional preferences. There is a vegetarian option on the menu we have arranged.
You should reserve your seat in advance on the 7-seat vehicle, which our guide will be driving. It is a part of the same excursion, but it is called Luxury Jeep Safari.
It is essential to bring a hat, as well as sunglasses, to wear sunscreen and a comfortable outfit. You should carry your swimwear and towels, but equally important is to have strong shoes, since you will be walking about 1 kilometer on soil and rough ground.
