Are you thinking of how to spend one of your evenings on holiday? Then, we will pick you up at your hotel and take you on an unforgettable sunset quad safari in Fodele.
You will go on an off-road journey through the pristine landscapes: you will ride your own ATV quad bike along scenic trail with panoramic views of the sea and the Cretan countryside. The evening light will cast a blue and golden glow over the landscape, making the ride both peaceful yet exhilarating. You will follow coastal paths and mountain roads that lead into the heart of traditional Crete. It’s the perfect blend of adventure, romance, and natural beauty!
On this sunset quad safari tour from Fodele, you will see the following sights, attractions and viewpoints:
One of the destinations will be the charming village of Achlada, where time seems to stand still. There, you will hear stories about the traditional Cretan way of life and the history of this once-thriving village, which now offers a glimpse into the past. You will walk through the quiet streets and soak in the authenticity of this hidden gem. As we continue, you’ll see how everyday life used to be on the island. This offers a unique cultural experience that few tourists get to have.
You will visit a local olive oil factory owned and operated by a cretan family. You will learn about the production process of olive oil, tracing its roots from Minoan times to modern technology. Of course, you will have the opportunity to sample olive oil, olives, and local honey – all authentic flavors of Crete! This visit will delight your senses and give you insight into the agricultural traditions that have shaped the island for centuries.
As the sun begins to set, we will continue our journey through untouched nature. We will follow hidden mountain trails to reach a stunning viewpoint just in time to admire the sunset. There, you will have free time to relax, take photos, or simply enjoy the peaceful moment when the sky above the sea is painted with shades of orange and pink. This is the righ place and the right time for those who love the beauty of nature!
This tour is more than just a trip; it’s a sunset adventure filled with culture, vivid colours, and unforgettable scenery. If you’re looking for thrills, romance, or a unique way to explore Crete, this experience has it all!
Keep in mind, please, that depending on the season (spring, summer, autumn), the tour may be slightly longer or shorter because of the time of the sunset. But rest assured, a magical sunset will forever be a part of your holidays!
