An evening quad safari in Crete can be a magical experience, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the island’s landscapes as the sun dips bellow the horizon. Here is what to expect from our sunset tour:
Gather at the starting point at 17:00 pm for a short introduction to the quads following by a practical lesson in our private course (4 acres).
Once familiar with the quad bike our fun begins and we are setting off heading to our first stop which is at the top of the mountain ‘the ghost town’. The route is along the golden mountain trails which offers panoramic views of the sea coast and verdant mountains of Crete. It is a great opportunity to capture stunning photographs and create lasting memories whilst enjoying a smooth ride.
The ‘Ghost Town’ is situated on top of the mountain very well hidden and secluded. Our experienced guides will take you to this traditional abandoned village to show you the most interesting parts and tell you a few facts about the place. There are many abandoned old cottages in this village and the setting brings to mind a horror movie. Be prepared for amazing pictures and a unique experience.
Filled with fresh oxygen from the heights of Achlada ‘Ghost Town’ we are heading off road through an old donkey road descending 300 meters to the sea coast of Fodele. The selected route offers scenic views riding through olive groves and the natural beauty of Crete. As the tour progresses you will make your way to the sea coast where we can pause for a brief moment to take in the scenery and capture some pictures.
Our next stop is at a charming traditional village
renowned for its scenic beauty and the birthplace of the famous painter EL Greco. Once there, we are taking a 20 mins break to recharge and why not explore the streets of the village and the shops who offer local products such as fresh orange juice, honey, raki and handicrafts.
Having explored Fodele and being rejuvenated, we are taking the road back to the seacoast to capture a magnificent sunset. Once located in a comfortable spot by the beach which offers a clear view of the horizon, you can share a special moment with friends, family or loved ones anticipating the sunset. The warm hues of orange, pink and red in the sky in combination with the cooler blues and purples of the sky and sea are guaranteed to create a mesmerizing spectacle.
