Starting at the Peninsula Hotel and Spa in Agia Pelagia, we give you a theoretical introduction and a small driving practise, before we take the adventure in our hands and the quads on the road.

Lonely tracks away from main traffic and in the midst of the most nature take you to a beautiful cliff path along the sea and later into the heights of Achlada.

Our first stop of the safari lets you embark on a journey through time at the local olive mill. Learn about the rich history of traditional olive oil making, from the ancient Minioan age to modern fabrication, and enjoy a quick guided tour of the olive oil factory. At the end of the visit you get to enjoy a free tasting of local delicious olive oil and different types of local honey.

Before we continue our journey to the long time ago and abruptly abandoned ghost village of Achlada, we enjoy a breathtaking view over the surrounding area. In the ghost village you will find out more about the background of the village, the ancient and traditional Cretan way of life and share a special personal moment with the last and only inhabitants of this village. Enjoy a walk through this village which is not accessible by any other means.

We continue, beginning in the heights of Achlada, passing in between the mountains in breathtaking natural surroundings to Fodele, a traditional Cretan village, which is also called the village of the oranges and is the birthplace of the famous painter ‘El Greco’. Here you can explore Crete’s culture and marvel at its local handicrafts. Time for some shopping or a visit of the village is of course considered.

For those of you who like it relaxed there is the possibility to enjoy a freshly squeezed orange juice from the local oranges in the calm.
