About the Activity

What to Expect

Go off the beaten track in Crete with our Private Jeep Tour with Lunch. Experience the real Crete in our Jeep 4x4, driven by an informative English-speaking guide who will also be your driver. This adventure-filled tour takes you through the Gramvoussa peninsula in northern Crete, offering a mix of wild hinterland, stunning coastlines, and rich history.

Your journey begins with a visit to the traditional village of Polyrinia, a fortified stronghold that offers a glimpse into the island's past. Next, you will travel up to Gramvoussa to admire the breathtaking views over the Bay of Kissamos. The tour culminates at the lagoon of Balos, where you will have ample time to relax on the beach, swim, and explore the lagoon. A picnic composed of local products is included and can be customized to your preferences.
