With the help of our associates who expertise in cretan safari, you can enjoy an incredible experience in Rethymno, guaranteed to be unforgettable. Here's their description: Starting with a beautiful off-road drive through the region of village Prines, we head to our first stop - Malaki village.
Here, we take a walk through narrow streets, meeting the locals for a Greek coffee and local pastry. We continue heading south through a beautiful valley of “Tis Nifis ta Potamia”, with its 360° view of the majestic Cretan mountains: Psiloritis on our left and the White Mountains are on our right! Thereafter, we follow an adventurous off-road track through the dense forest of Agios Ioannis passing through the impressive Kotsifos gorge.
Finally, we find ourselves on the road to Rodakino beach with its breathtaking view of the Libyan sea. Once at Rodakino beach, we relax with a refreshing swim, and then it’s lunch time! The group will enjoy a, delicious meal of local specialities, before returning to the vehicles. From Rodakino, we take an off-road, coastal track with a breathtakingly beautiful sea view, that brings us to Plakias beach. At Plakias, we have some time to walk around the tourist center, or enjoy a last swim before we leave the southern seaside of the island.
The last part of our safari is more relaxing, but still impressive! The road takes us to the heart of Kourtaliotiko gorge for some of the best photo opportunities of the day. Kourtaliotiko is our final stop, before heading back to Rethymno. Distance: 80 km Off Road: 40%
