★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 298 reviews · 12 - 14 hours · from $53Our pick

A long, guided hike through Samaria Gorge from Crete resorts. Includes White Mountains views, Agia Roumeli swim time, and ferry return.

“This was an incredible experience. The gorge was out of this world beautiful from start to finish. Our guide was fantastic, super organised and friendly. We were picked up at 5:15qm and dropped off at 10:15pm. The bus trip went quick enough as had a sleep and stopped off twice in the way. Lovely late lunch at a little restaurant at the ferry port. We had a quick swim in the sea before getting on the ferry back to the bus. Ferry trip around the coast was also beautiful. A wonderful experience. Definitely wear trainers with grip/walking boots. Walk is mostly in the shade & take some lunch”

The whole experience was brilliant - we used the buggies and had the best time. We visited a beautiful beach village, a famous cave, a monastery, climbed more of the mountains then had an olive oil factory tour and tastings. We finished with a lovely lunch in a traditional Greek taverna before getting back to base and being taken to our hotel. We even got sent photos our guide took during the day after we returned to…”

Electric quad eco-adventure in Crete from Malia and Hersonissos, with quiet off-road, villages, lunch, and guided stops in about 6 hours.

“Onwijs leuke dagtrip gehad! Hele vriendelijke gids die ons vanalles kon vertellen onderweg. Leuke route zowel on- als offroad door het binnenland en diverse kleine authentieke dorpjes. Na een bezoek aan een olijfolie fabriek, zijn we de route vervolgd. In een van de dorpjes die we passeerden hebben we erg lekker en uitgebreid gelunched. Ook een bezoekje gebracht aan Sissi. Hier hadden we een half uurtje vrije tijd, dit had iets langer mogen zijn. Nu moesten we haasten om onze koffie op te drinken alvorens we weer vertrokken. Maar al met al echt een hele dikke aanrader deze eco quadtour! Op en top quad beleving maar dan lekker geruisloos.”

Downside to the event was how long it took to get there. My ride was a total of 2.5 hours. I was solo. So with others I'm assuming it would not have felt so long.”
