Crete Land Rover Safari with Lunch and Drinks

We were picked up on time by our tour guide Dionysios Gavras to start our day. Dionysios was both friendly and informative throughout the safari and the whole family learnt a lot about Crete and the peoples way of life both now, in the past and the their relationship with the land and geography. Hearing about his own family's past and present made the trip more relevant. Although long, the day passed quickly and we saw some spectacular scenery both inland and coastal. I recommend this safari.

It was a great day due to our driver Dyonissos. We have learned a lot of the Cretan live and enjoy beautiful landscapes. Dyonissos make the excursion more enjoyable due to his remarkable sense of humor. Many thanks O and G

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 with 24 lion-head spouts. We had a good lunch at a taverna within walking distance to Prevelli beach, and then had an hour at the beach. If you didn't want to swim you could climb the hundreds of steps up to the higher carpark, with good views on the way.

This trip was one of the highlights of our holiday. 5 of us set out with our driver, Stavros, who was informative, friendly and great fun. There were lots of stops along the way - to admire the stunning views spot the wildlife including vultures above Prasses Gorge guess the herb and visit villages we would not otherwise have got to. We spent some time in Karines and Spili, long enough for refreshment and a wander round the villages before heading to our destination of Preveli, the South Coast beach with palm trees. We were treated to some excellent food and unlimited wine at a beach side taverna here and then given free time to relax, swim or explore. More stunning scenery/photo opportunities/ lively conversation accompanied us on the return journey. Being picked up from, and returned to, our hotels was much appreciated. This trip is excellent value for money, great fun and a brilliant way to see more of the island.

Excellent day out with Dionysus who was informative, amusing and enjoys his job. Very good lunch stop, comfortable jeep and very varied route.

Perfekt organisierte Tour mit sehr freundlichen und kompetenten Fahrern! Von der Abholung direkt vor dem Hotel über die Einleitung vom charmanten Tourguide Frank aus Österreich weiter zu den verschiedenen Aussichtspunkten bis hin zum Mittagessen und dem Erholungsaufenthalt am Palmenstrand Preveli war das ein unvergesslicher Tag für uns! Meine Frau und ich sowie unsere zwei Kinder 8 und 13 haben uns immer sehr wohl gefühlt und viele tolle Eindrücke von Kreta sammeln können, die uns ohne diese Tour verwehrt geblieben wären. Besonders beeindruckt haben uns die Gänsegeier, aber auch die diversen kleinen Bergdörfchen und die wunderschönen Küstenabschnitte auf der Südseite der Insel am libyschen Meer. Unser Fahrer Stavros ist ein echtes Unikat! Mit seinen Spässen hat er uns immer wieder köstlich unterhalten. Sein sehr gutes Englisch und der eine oder andere Brocken Deutsch hat die Kommunikation sehr erleichtert. Wir haben somit nicht nur vom deutschen bzw. österreichischen Tourguide sehr viel gelernt, sondern auch von unserem Fahrer - sei dies zu kretischen Hochzeitsritualen oder zu einheimischen Kräutern und Gewürzen! Also, alles in Allem eine sehr empfehlenswerte Veranstaltung! 5 Sterne!!!
