About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on our sunset Jeep tour, designed for romantics and adventurers alike, where you will explore the wonderful part of Crete visiting traditional settlements. Our journey begins in the lush and diverse village of Potamies, where you will visit a traditional shepherd’s farm and partake in local activities such as goat milking. Strolling through the village gardens filled with seasonal fruits, vegetables, and fragrant aromas, we proceed towards the Aposelemis Dam, Crete’s largest water supply project. Here, the submerged village of Sfendili reveals its impressive old houses fading into the dam's waters.

Next, we venture to Avdou, renowned as one of Crete's most representative villages, where every building is meticulously preserved, adorned with informative signs detailing its historical significance. Continuing our ascent along rugged roads, we reach the breathtaking Embasa Gorge, offering unparalleled views of majestic mountains and wildlife, along with the chance to gather local herbs.

As the sun begins its descent, indulge in breathtaking scenery, accompanied by refreshing Prosecco and fresh seasonal fruits. A delightful dinner follows, featuring local delicacies paired with regional wine and water.
