★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,351 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $113Top rated

Full-day Land Rover safari from Heraklion through Cretan mountains, villages, Zeus legend stops, and a tavern lunch with wine.

“Outstanding! This tour was the highlight of our holiday. Darrel, our driver, was not only funny, but had an in-depth knowledge of the current and historical issues that have shaped this beautiful island. The trek to Zeus’s cave is not for the faint hearted, but it was a special experience (and an intense thigh work). The most delicious meal was arranged in a quaint tavern, with my Gluten free diet catered for. The tomatoes are to die for! All in all the day left my 25 year old some yearning to be a goats cheese maker in the mountains, and the rest of my family more in love with Crete…”

“Although the weather was not the best for the first couple of hours of this tour, it was good to be able to see some of the Cretan hinterland. There were some great views and, unlike some other tours, the driver actually stopped at vantage points so you could take photos. We stopped at some little village that really had nothing going for it, but it did give those who wanted to the opportunity to visit a loo. A stop at a larger village gave us the opportunity to get a decent coffee, look in the shops, and see some of the sites - the main one being a fountain…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 664 reviews · 5 hours · from $82

Quad ride through Milatos caves, Prophet Elias views, and an olive oil factory, with lunch or dinner in Malia. 5 hours.

“They are called experts for a reason. Everything was organized in the best possible way. Great staff, well-maintained vehicles. During the excursion there was also a lunch break in our case, we could choose between chicken gyros, pork gyros, or a vegetarian option. Definitely an excursion to do when in Crete. I suggest bringing a bandana to cover your face from the dust, as in the second part of the route there is really a lot of it. Anyway, they also sell their own branded ones for those who want.”

I felt we picked up tonnes of knowledge and turned everything we knew about crete on its head. thanks Darylnand…”
