What you can expect
Meet your guide at the Peninsula Hotel and Spa in Agia Pelagia and start with driving tutorial session. Practice driving to ensure that you are confident with your quad bike. Cruise along lonely paths far away from main traffic that wind through scenic vistas.
Explore a cliff path that overlooks the sea and arrive at the traditional village of Achlada. Find out about the background of the village and hear about the ancient and traditional Cretan way of life.
The tour continues with a visit of the local Olive Oil Mill, where you will have a quick introduction to olive oil fabrication starting in the Minoan Age, over the Byzantine Age until modern fabrication. At the end of the guided tour you will get to try the local olive oil, olives and honey.
The tour continues in untouched nature, passing by the goats and finally reaching a beautiful and scenic place to watch the sky turn gold and the sun set into the see. Have some free time to watch as the colours of the sunsetting between the sea the mountains. Ride back to the meeting point after the sun sets.
Please note that in the month of September the tour is shorter due to the earlier sunset. The return of the tour in September will most likely be at 20:30. There may only be a visit of one village. The tasting and sunset however will still be included.
